A baby Asian elephant at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas has “predicted” that the Los Angeles Rams will beat the Cincinnati Bengals to win Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, February 13, the zoo said in a press release. The zoo was hoping the new recruit, named Brazos, would bring an end to its seven-year run of incorrect predictions. In recent years, the task had been handed to various animals including a gorilla, black bears, a crocodile, an orangutan, and a hippo. However, Brazos is a descendent of the first animal to make predictions at the zoo – an elephant called Rasha – and the zoo said it hoped the familial link could turn their fortunes around. “Rasha is a prognosticating hall-of-famer,” the zoo said. “Her grandson Brazos is the best last-ditch attempt to get us out of this slump.” Video released by the zoo shows Brazos approaching “two boomer balls (elephant-sized footballs), each painted with the respective teams’ logos,” with his mother Bluebonnet nearby, the zoo wrote. “Without hesitation, the 600-pound, 5-star recruit tackled the Rams boomer ball for the official pick!” the Fort Worth Zoo said.
