Elephant predicts Patriots will win Super Bowl
A football-kicking African elephant at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom picked the favored New England Patriots to defeat the long-shot New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII on Sunday.
Tava kicked three field goals for the Patriots to two for the Giants, out of seven attempts for each team. Using a tee, the 29-year-old, left-footed female booted the football through a makeshift goal post to make her prediction.
The Vallejo, California, amusement park/marine park/zoo selects one animal annually to predict the NFL champion. An Atlantic bottlenose dolphin named Merlin accurately picked the Indianapolis Colts to defeat the Chicago Bears in last year’s Super Bowl.
