Paul the oracle octopus has picked Spain to win the World Cup.
But he could be in trouble: He predicted Germany will beat Uruguay in the World Cup third-place play-off, and is now the target of death threats from angry German fans.
The octopus, who has become a World Cup sensation by correctly predicting all six Germany games, tipped his country of residence live on national television.
Football predicting has become a dangerous job for the English-born Paul. Some bitter German fans threatened to turn him into sushi after he predicted a semi-final defeat for the Mannschaft.
Paul's home, an aquarium in western Germany, has received death-threat emails saying "we want Paul for the pan."
