How Octopus Paul phenomenon duped the people around the world?
This World Cup has left unique memories. Not only do we have a brand-new champion, that has never won it before, but we have had animals overshadow stars players on the front pages around the world.
THIS FIFA world cup will be remembered not for any spectacular goal, a player’s magic or a controversial refereeing decision, it will be remembered by star of golden cup ‘Uncle Paul’. He is also a winner like the Spaniards. Actually among invertebrates, octopuses are very intelligent, but that intelligence can be defined in different ways. Predictive power is not the part of brainpower. Octopuses are visually oriented and mostly trained with food and objects. They cannot see colour like we do but they are able to spot the difference between two things. In the case of Paul, it is all with the way people train animals; they involuntarily make movements or sound which animal uses as motivation. However, the scientists still need research on control environment, without this it is hard to say his correct prediction. It is just random luck; Paul managed to go on winner team box. It is just surprising us because Octopuses live in a different world from us. This World Cup has left unique memories. Not only do we have a brand-new champion, that has never won it before, but we have had animals overshadow stars players on the front pages around the world. Next world cup will be in Brazil in 2014, across the planet, in the four year break will allow all the zoos to perfect the art of Paulcracy and sport forecast among their star forecasters.
