The male African lion, Hodari, predicts the winner of this year’s Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
The African lion will cast his vote by picking from two helmet-shaped piñatas of the Patriots and the Seahawks both filled with identical treats, set out for him by zookeepers.
This fun and educational event serves as one element of the animal’s daily enrichment.
As part of the celebration, the El Paso Zoo invites visitors to come dressed in their favorite NFL team jerseys or attire. This will be the first year for the African lion.
