Given the Super Bowl matchup between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, the choice was clear for a rhinoceros at a Texas zoo.
Named Arun, the one-horned Asian rhinoceros did not hesitate to make his pick when presented with two balls, one adorned with a Giants logo, the other with a Patriots logo.
The balls were placed inside Arun's play area at the Fort Worth Zoo.
Entering the area, Arun immediately turned to the Giants ball and began playing, tossing it around the area.
His choice for Super Bowl winner was obvious, said Zoo Director of Animal Collections Ron Surrat.
"Yeah, he has no interest in the Patriots at all, so I think we've got to figure he's a Giants fan," he said from an observation deck above the play area.
Just days away from Super Bowl XLVI, predictions are pouring out from sports experts, Las Vegas oddsmakers and now an endangered rhino.
