Grizzly Bear Picks Patriots

February 3, 2019

A 680-pound grizzly bear named Ozzy has picked the New England Patriots to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, February 3, officials at a Montana zoo say.

Ozzy was given his choice between two cakes, one decorated with Patriots symbols and colors, and the other with Rams symbols and colors.

He ate the Patriots cake.

Each cake was made of watermelon topped with whipped cream, strawberries, and grapes, according to the Billings Gazette.

Officials at ZooMontana say that Ozzy has (by similar means) correctly picked the winner in five of the last six Super Bowls.
