Seal of Approval: By a Nose, Aquarium’s Harbor Seal Picks Patriots for Superbowl
|
Rasal the harbor seal with the prognosticating proboscis at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, has made her pick for Super Bowl 53: the New England Patriots. — an announcement from the Maritime Aquarium
The 33-year-old female seal knows how to hold her nose against the hand of her Aquarium trainers, and also against a “target pole” and other objects, including the exhibit window. On Tuesday, Jan. 29, the Aquarium seal exhibit was lined with alternating images of New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams helmets. When instructed to go to the exhibit window, Rasal decisively swam to — and held her nose against — a Patriots helmet, indicating her pick.
