Whether you are a football fan or not, you might have heard about Paul the Octopus’ uncanny ability to correctly predict the winner of six matches so far.
Paul swims to the winner’s box.
How does Paul know?

Paul’s predictions have been spot-on.
It seems a Singaporean parakeet, Mani, is following in Paul’s footsteps:

Octopus has 3 hearts and 9 brains. It is probably the most intelligent one among all invertebrates.
However, because of its short life expectancy, averagely of 3-5 years, we don't know how far an octopus can actually learn.
Paul now is about 2 and a half years old. It is an old man already, if it was a human.
There are several articles stating different reasons about why Paul could predict so accurately. Well, regardless of any scientific studies or opinions, we just have to believe that there is super natural power which human beings still cannot fully comprehend and discover.
After Spain won over Germany, Paul's safety is in risk now, as some people may try to kill Paul or throw him into the shark tank! The person in charge of that aquarium has already increased the protection level for Paul.
I love Paul.
God Bless You.
paul chose Spain
i think he is a die hard fan for spain!!!!
