They have a bit of a tradition at the Phoenix Zoo. It has everything to do with animals picking the winners of important football games. For the Fiesta Bowl, Rayma the orangutan got a chance to shine by picking the winner of Satuday’s matchup between Ohio State and Clemson. Rayma was give two t-shirts from each opposing team and then the wait began.
Let it be known that Rayma has chosen the last two Super Bowl winners correctly, so this ape knows a thing or two about breaking down a game apparently. Forget your ESPN and other media talking heads. Our distant, hairy cousin knows the real deal.
So Ohio State fans should be excited then that the t-shirt that was picked was a scarlet one rather than the orange threads of Clemson. You can watch fans go wild as Rayma looks for all the world to begin picking the Tigers shirt, but then makes a last minute switch and grabs the Ohio Sate one and pulls it it on and swashbuckles away.
Take that Clemson.
Click on the below and get a kick out of this prediction. It’s going to be a jungle out there on Saturday night.
Tensions are high and drama ensues at the Phoenix Zoo as Rayma — who correctly predicted the last two Super Bowls — made a last minute switch and picked the Buckeyes over Clemson for Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl: pic.twitter.com/vQI01DMhtX
