PORTLAND, Ore. — If you trust a rodent to predict when winter will end, how about an ape to guide your Super Bowl winner selection?
The Oregon Zoo’s youngest orangutan, Kutai, showed no hesitation Friday in selecting an Indianapolis Colts T-shirt during the annual football forecasting event at the zoo. The zoo says Kutai has predicted the winner in four of the past five Super Bowls, including the New York Giants’ win over the New England Patriots in 2008. His only loss was last year when he incorrectly picked the Arizona Cardinals over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
