The gentoo penguins at Birmingham's Sea life Centre have predicted the Lionesses will win the World Cup final on Sunday against Spain.
They have successfully predicted the results of every England match throughout the Women's World Cup, scoring themselves a ‘double-hat-trick of success that the lionesses themselves would be proud of!
With six successful predictions under their wings, the in-the-know birds have been at it one last time - this time predicting that England will be bringing it home against Spain.
To help make their predictions, the animal care team have been lending them a flipper by flying the flags of both participating teams, within the newly refurbished penguin habitat.
They then let the black and white squad waddle their way to the teams’ flag who they believe will be victorious in the next game.
Remaining patriotic, the skilful squad have forecasted that the Lionesses will be the ones to raise the World Cup trophy after the final whistle of the tournament is blown on Sunday.
Amy Langham, general manager at Sea Life Birmingham, said "It’s great to see our gentoo penguins having fun whilst getting involved in the World Cup frenzy.
"Penguins are extremely playful creatures so have quickly got into the spirit of choosing their winners.
"Our penguins haven’t been wrong yet so we’re all keeping our flippers crossed that they are successful once again and that the lionesses will be bringing it home on Sunday."
