Utica Zoo

The Utica Zoo had a couple of animals who wanted to make their predictions known. First to make their choice was a degu named Bea Arthur and she went straight for the Chiefs with her prediction.

It's that time of the year again! The Superbowl is right around the corner, so we decided to ask some of our animals who they think will win this year: the Cheifs or the Eagles. The first prediction was given by one of our Degus: Bea Arthur. And without hesititaion, she gave us a clear answer: the Chiefs will win Superbowl LVII. Do you agree with Bea Arthur? Stay tuned for more predictions throughout this week! #degu #superbowl #superbowlLVII #prediction #utica #zoo #uticazoo #uz363 #funthatmatters #football #cuteanimals #funnyanimals #Chiefs #kansascity #kansascitychiefs

The Score

Philadelphia Eagles - 2

Kansas City Chiefs - 4

Two days later, their Spider Monkeys, Manuel and Negra, wanted to get in on the action. Manuel was quick to pick the Eagles, so quick in fact that Negra didn't even get to give her opinion.

Our Spider Monkeys, Manuel and Negra, told us that they wanted to predict the outcome of Superbowl LVII. After we setup their enrichment, it didn't take long before Manuel made his decision: the Eagles! Of course, being the destructive force that he is, he also demolished the enrichment for the Chiefs after the fact! #superbowl #superbowlLVII #prediction #utica #zoo #uticazoo #uz363 #funthatmatters #football #cuteanimals #funnyanimals #eagles #philadelphiaeagles #philadelphia #spidermonkey #monkey
