And Now Madrid Zoo Wants To Buy Paul The Octopus

Paul The Octopus has became famous thanks to its ability to correctly predict all of the Germany results plus the final game between Holland and Spain. And now, the Madrid  Zoo want to buy Paul The Octopus as it was deemed as a national hero for correctly predicting Spain, which is the eventual World Cup 2010.


The zoo said it made the offer after receiving hundreds of requests from Spaniards for Paul's transfer from a German aquarium after Spain won the World Cup on Sunday.


Zoo spokesperson Amparo Fernandez said an unspecified amount of cash was offered for the purchase of Paul, now a hero in Spain, which went wild after it won its first World Cup ever.


Paul's owner, the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany declined immediate comment and requested that a reporter send questions by e-mail.
