Octopus predicted the World Cup at 20 10. Then this octopus predicted by Paul won eight guesses in the World Cup in South Africa, which continued the magic. This eight-legged octopus became a hit because it can correctly predict the outcome of the World Cup. After Spain won the championship, the correct guess rate was as high as 100%.

Now its prediction model is well known: put two food boxes with the same different flags into an aquarium, and Paul can hold the right box almost every time without hesitation, lift the lid with his wrist and put the shellfish into his mouth.

Football prediction brought death to the octopus born in England. After the queue, the angry Germans vowed to make it into sushi and eat it. Paul's home (a German aquarium) received a death threat, "We are going to cook Paul".
