With the tragic death of Paul the Octopus due to old age (he will be missed/was delicious), which animal will be the next great sports prognosticator? The folks at the Dallas Zoo are betting on Jenny the elephant, whom they assigned to pick the winner of the Super Bowl. Jenny was presented with two watermelons painted in Steelers and Packers team colors, and as you can probably see in the photo, wasted little time stomping on Pittsburgh. Of course, Jenny is a female elephant, and the Steelers feature Ben Roethlisberger. You do the math.

Meanwhile, the Fort Worth Zoo also presented the choice to their expert animal handicapper, Cody the clairvoyant coati. Here are those results:

UPDATE: More animal predictions:

Bob the baby orangutan (Greenville, SC Zoo): Packers.

Alex the orangutan (Fresno Chaffee Zoo): Steelers.
