Chelsea The Octopus Predicts PGA Winner

Chelsea the Octopus — a resident of the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo — has predicted that Adam Scott will win the 2013 PGA Grand Slam.

Chelsea was presented with four boxes, each featuring the name and photo of the four champions playing in the 2013 PGA Grand Slam, which is being played at Port Royal Golf Course, as well as a single shrimp.

When the box, which is typically used as an enrichment tool, was presented, Chelsea quickly crawled over, put a tentacle in and grabbed a shrimp. The first one she reached for was that of Adam Scott, followed by Justin Rose, Padraig Harrington and then Jason Dufner, all in quick succession.

Chelsea follows in the footsteps of Paul the Octopus — a resident of Germany — who became internationally famous for correctly predicting the winner of Germany’s seven matches at the 2010 World Cup, as well as correctly predicting the final. The story was carried by thousands of news agencies worldwide, and Paul became instantly popular on various social networks.
