Fortune-telling tapir predicts Croatian win over France in World Cup final
NIZHNY NOVGOROD, July 13, 2018, (BSS/TASS)- Cleopatra the Tapir, who lives
at the Nizhny Novgorod’s Limpopo zoo, has predicted Croatia’s victory over
France in the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup final, the zoo’s press service
informed TASS on Friday.
The World Cup’s final match will take place on July 15, at Luzhniki Stadium
in Moscow. Earlier, the animal’s predictions were on target for 6 out of 8
games.
“Today, Cleopatra is far more certain of her prediction than ever before.
Without a second thought, she approached the fruit bowl with a Croatian flag
on it. It seems that Croatia will have a sure victory,” the press service
said.
Among the clairvoyant animals making predictions for the World Cup matches
are: Achilles the cat from St. Petersburg, Pushok the rabbit from Sochi,
Puzyr the whale from Anapa, and Spartak the lemur from Yekaterinburg.
