By joining Paul in the ranks of the World Cup’s top fortune-tellers, Toby is now among a group of world-famous animals
Paul the octopus has captivated the imagination of World Cup fans ever since he made a sensation at the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
Back in 2010, the famous octopus, residing at the Sea Life Center in Oberhausen, Germany, correctly predicted the winner of all seven of Germany’s matches. At the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, the penguin became the champion, by predicting the results of the matches.
The British newspaper, Middle East Eye, said that in the World Cup 2022, two heroes appeared that compete with the octopus Paul— the first is an 8-year-old Asian small-clawed otter named Taiyo, who became a hero in Japan after predicting the team’s 2-1 victory over Germany, and the second from the Middle East named Toby.
He is a Gentoo penguin who lives in Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort located inside one of the largest shopping malls in the world.
