Popcorn Park's Princess Clinches Another 'W' with Ravens' Win

Prognosticating camel improves Super Bowl record to 8-1

 

Princess the camel from Popcorn Park Zoo scored another ‘W’ when the Ravens clinched Super Bowl XLVII.

Although it was a close call as the 49ers made a comeback in the fourth quarter, the odds were in favor of Princess’ prediction with the Ravens winning 34-31.

Popcorn Park celebrated the victory with an update on its Facebook page: “Ravens win!!! Princess picking another Super Bowl winner… Priceless!”

Each year, Princess predicts the winner of NFL games, including the Super Bowl.

Princess makes her decisions based on graham crackers. Each week, General Manager John Bergmann writes the names of two teams competing and holds a graham cracker, Princess’ favorite snack, in each hand. Princess then chooses to eat the treat from the hand with the name of her favorite team written on it.

Her reward if she’s spot on? Extra graham crackers.

For this year’s Super Bowl, Princess was hesitant but ultimately chose the Ravens, Bergamann said.

After last night’s win, Princess improved her record to 12-6 on the season, 101-57 since she began prognosticating in 2006 and 8-1 for Super Bowls.

Princess arrived at Popcorn Park after her owner passed away and a caretaker retired to another state. The Associated Humane Societies brought her to Popcorn Park and it has been her home ever since.

Popcorn Park Zoo was established in 1977 and provides a refuge for wildlife, exotic and domestic animals that are sick, elderly, abandoned, abused, or injured. The zoo houses more than 200 animals and birds.

Let's make Princess a bigger tourist attraction with a new Feb. 1st publicity stunt: Her annual prediction about an early spring! Beat Punxatawney Phil by a day, and generate news for our region before the spring rental rush. Since she's a camel, let's call Feb. 1st "Hump Day."

Princess, I have got to come and meet you in person. You are terrific. Every one was for SF but I went along with you and you did it again. I'll be waiting for you next year. I hope it is the Giants.
