Animals picking big time sporting events are nothing new, but they still turn out to be incredibly compelling every time we see them. Whether its dogs, an octopus, elephants, animals always seem to be better sports pundits than humans.
And with the big game between Florida State and Louisville coming up, cameras were turned on two orangutans at the Louisville Zoo for their picks.

They’re named Amber and Teak, and they’re both pretty cute. Amber decided to pick Louisville (and put her shirt on backwards, does that mean Louisville loses but covers?), and Teak drank from the Louisville cup after turning away the Florida State kool-aid.
Naturally it isn’t surprising that two Louisville Zoo animals would pick the Cardinals to win, but they initially thought FSU might have the edge. We’ll have to wait until Saturday afternoon to see if they’re as good at picking sporting events as Paul the Octopus was during the 2014 World Cup.
