Until now Octopus vulgaris was the scientific name of creatures with eight tentacles that led boring lives drifting away in the depths of the oceans. They made it to the news only when documentary filmmakers decided to go scuba diving or when food chefs on TV decided to make sushi with their legs. This until Paul came along...

This eight-legged wonder of the world who currently resides at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany has predicted the result of every match that Germany has featured in at the World Cup in South Africa.
