In a German wildlife park, there lives an elephant with a nearly perfect record for predicting international football matches and is turning her attention to the World Cup beginning June 12.
Nelly apparently has predicted Germany will thrash Ghana and the USA and draw with Portugal during their Group G campaign.
From one kick of the soccer ball to the next, Nelly the elephant hits the ball in a net representing the team she predicts to be the match winner.
Nelly predicted 30 of 33 results correctly in 2006 for the women's world cup, the men's World Cup in 2010 and then the 2012 European Championships.
There are 32 teams competing in this years World Cup, and Nelly is saying good things for Germany.
Local Germans view Nelly as an oracle. She will continue to show her soccer skills as the World Cup approaches.
