Paul was a common octopus, born on 26th January, 2008, in Weymouth, England. He lived in Oberhausen, German, and enthralled the world with his predictions of football matches during the FIFA World Cup, 2014. His feeding habits were believed to be his way of predicting the outcome of international matches in which Germany participated. Paul foretold the results of several of the Euro 2008 matches and all of 2010 World Cup matches of Germany, by eating first out of the two boxes of the same food, presented before him with the flags of the two participating teams. He also predicted Spain’s win over Netherlands in the final. 11 out of his 13 predictions were correct. His divination skills, though subject to many refutations and explanations by scientists, made him famous among people from all over the world. He died a sudden death on 26th October, 2010, but, is still considered a huge part of the world of football.
Thus, animals have always been there to sooth humans and entertain them. There are also many stories of how they have proven to be important to human history. It is important to remember to take care of all the creatures that make this biosphere so diverse and entertaining, just by their mere presence.
