OBERHAUSEN, Germany — Paul the Octopus’ successor has made his public debutbut his keepers aren’t yet promising deep soccer insight from the youngster.
The 5-month-old, also named Paul, tentatively explored his new tank at the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen Wednesday. Paul hails from near Montpellier in southern France.
The original Paul correctly predicted the outcome of eight matches at the World Cup. He died of natural causes last week.
It isn’t clear whether Paul the Second will also try his tentacles at forecasting.
