  • Citta, a 33-year-old female elephant reacts after she chose a melon above a sign indicating a win for the Poland football team at Krakow zoo on June 6, 2012 at the zoo in the southern Polish city of Krakow. Citta was given the option to choose between a win for the Poland football team, the Greek team or a draw between the two, for their first round Euro 2012 football championships match on June 8, 2012. Zoo organisers arranged melons over signs for both teams, so that the first melon she ate would signal her prediction of a win for that team or a draw if she chose the melon above the middle 'draw' sign. A similar stunt was perfomed for the 2010 South Africa football world cup and 2010 European football Championships in Austria and Switzerland when Paul the octopus using a similar system stunned organisers by correctly predicting all 7 of Germany's world cup games and the final match.

The rhino have been donated by Damian Aspinall, Chairman of The Aspinall Foundation, from their breeding group at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent. The reintroduction of endangered species to the wild to assist breeding programmes is a major focus of The Aspinall Foundation.
