The El Paso Zoo & Botanical Gardens is set to host a unique Super Bowl LIX prediction event on Saturday, where their very own mountain lions, Franklin and Scout, will take center stage in a playful attempt to predict this year's NFL champion. According to El Paso Zoo, at 1 p.m. visitors are invited to watch as the felines choose between two helmet-shaped piñatas filled with identical treats, each representing the finalists, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The zoo suggests this event isn't only for the pre-game hype, it also provides enrichment for the animals, encouraging physical and mental activity, the two helmet piñatas will be filled with treats prepared by zookeepers serving both as entertainment for guests and stimulation for the big cats, last year, Franklin and Scout displayed their gridiron prowess by correctly selecting the Kansas City Chiefs as the Super Bowl winners, drawing keen interest to see if their sports clairvoyance will strike twice.
Supporters of both the four-legged prognosticators and the human athletes can join the festivities at the El Paso Zoo located at 4001 E. Paisano Dr. The event encourages fans to proudly wear their NFL team colors and revel in the spirited atmosphere as these mountain lions make their anticipated selection.
