Tubarão no Rio "predicts" the result of Brazil's debut in the World Cup; look

A shark in the Rio de Janeiro Marine Aquarium predicted the result of the Brazilian team's debut in the World Cup, in the match against Morocco, on June 13th.

"Ritinha", a female leopard shark, "predicted" Brazil's victory against Morocco. The game held in AquaRio's Large Ocean Tank - inspired by the traditional "oracle animals" of sporting competitions - is part of an action created to celebrate the famous football championship.

Videos show the moment when, faced with two containers of snacks, each with the flag of one of the countries, the animal ended up showing greater interest in the Brazilian container.

The dynamic is part of a series of attractions at the recently opened Galeria da Copa, installed in the Dreamland Museu de Cera, located in the lobby of the complex.

The space has a new statue of Pelé, and brings together other great names in the history of football, such as Lionel Messi and Zico.
