The Dallas Zoo’s capybaras, Velero, Atziri, and Piquiri, made their World Cup prediction by choosing between two soccer-themed goals decorated with the colors of Argentina and Austria. The goals were stocked with the capybaras’ favorite treats, including kale and bamboo.
Prediction Results
Two of the capybaras headed toward Austria’s goal, suggesting an upset victory over Argentina. The third capybara, however, knocked over Argentina’s goal, creating a moment the zoo described as ‘open to interpretation.’ This unique prediction comes as the zoo continues its soccer-themed Goal Wild! experience, part of the larger Illuminature lantern festival.
The zoo is also hosting the Sunset Safari Block Party on Sunday in partnership with Visit Dallas. The free event will feature activities, food, and entertainment throughout the evening. Admission to Illuminature will be discounted to $15 per person on Sunday night, the lowest price offered for the event.
