Fiona The Hippo Turns On Chiefs In Zoo Animal Super Bowl Prognostication Shocker

Zoo animals making Super Bowl picks is about as played out as opposing mayors betting cases of beer.

It happens every year, and while it's all in good fun, the picks are ultimately meaningless. They're not worth the pile of excrement in the corner of the picker's habitat.

That is except for the selection that comes from a certain prognosticating hippo who hails from Ohio.

I am, of course, talking about the Cincinnati Zoo's legend of the game, Fiona the Hippo.

Hippos are known to be some of the most dangerous animals in Africa, but few realize, that they were also one of the first creatures on Earth to recognize the generational talent of Patrick Mahomes.

Just look at this: back in 2020, we were gearing up for Super Bowl LIV between the Chiefs and 49ers. It was then that we got a taste of Fiona's knack for picking winners.

She took one whiff of that Niners buoy (or whatever it is) and was like, "Jimmy G.? Ew, no thanks, give me the Chiefs."

As we now know, Fiona hit the nail on the head, and that kicked off what could become a bonafide dynasty if the Chiefs pull off a win on Sunday in Las Vegas.

However, in one of the most shocking twists the world of animal prognostication has ever seen, Fiona has turned her back on the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Cincinnati Zoo posted a video of Fiona and her brother, Fritz, giving their picks for Super Bowl LVIII.

I don't know what it is. Maybe Fiona believes that Brock Purdy and company can really leave Sin City as Super Bowl champions or maybe, like the rest of us, she's just sick of the Chiefs/Taylor sideshow.

That should serve as a boost of confidence for Niners fans.

Now, Fritz still went with the Chiefs, but I'm not completely sure that was by choice. It sure looked like Fiona boxed him out a little and he got stuck picking the Chiefs.

Well, it looks like bragging rights in the hippo pond are on the line.
