YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A shark named Ritinha in a Rio de Janeiro aquarium has predicted that Brazil will win its opening World Cup game against Morocco, choosing a Brazil bucket in her tank. Marcelo Szpilman, director of the aquarium, hopes the attention will encourage shark conservation.

“The shark is an animal that needs to be conserved and has a very bad myth surrounding it,” said Szpilman.
