Pandas take leaf out of oracle octopus' book

GUANGZHOU - Twelve giant pandas, which are predicting the results of the Asian Games' competitions, have become major attractions at the Xiangjiang Safari Park in Guangzhou's Panyu district.

The pandas draw many curious onlookers when they start 'predicting' results, with the help of the park's animal keepers.

However, the pandas have been unable to emulate the feats of Paul the Octopus, who correctly predicted World Cup soccer results earlier this year. The pandas have tended to favor Chinese athletes.
