Meet Isidoro the ocelot, the World Cup’s new power animal. Any old place can get an octopus to predict the result of games, but only the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston can get Babou to do it for them.
This adorable ocelot is going to predict the World Cup
Need to hedge your bets? Always gamble on Izzy.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Ocelots are native to Brazil, which immediately makes them infinitely more qualified to predict the cup than any octopedial pretender. Isidoro or “Izzy” is total awesome, whether she’s chewing on bamboo for no reason or seeing in the dark. Heck, Izzy even has a Twitter account where she can post her feelings on the games before they happen.
Just setting up my Twitgrrrr.
