It took all about five minutes to get the results everyone has been waiting for, but and the tension was high. But ultimately, both choosing the Eagles.

"Rufus, one of our bob cats I guess has predicted correctly three years in a row and so they predicted the eagles, let's see if he's good for the fourth year,” said community engagement facilitator for CALM Zoo Elizabeth Graff.

According to Graff, the annual tradition is normally completed by Cinnamon, one of the black bears at CALM who has an 85% accuracy rate.

It's reported that Cinnamon also has an impressive passing record.
