The late "octopus oracle" Paul shot to fame when he predicted Germany to win the 2010 World Cup.

And now, a koala in Germany is predicting the outcome of Euro 2016.

Director of Leipzig Zoo, Joerg Junhold, says he is the perfect animal to do so.

"Well, we believe he is neutral and sees the events here in Europe very relaxed. Therefore, as an impartial arbitrator he is very well suited to make a prediction."

Refusing to choose between two Eucalyptus branches, Oobi-Ooobi predicted Germany will draw with Ukraine.

But Astrid says Ukraine will triumph. 

The German sea lion has competition from France's Watson.

Watson picked his own country as the clear winner of Friday evening's match.

But will any of these animals reach the notoriety of Octopus Paul?
