Paul the Octopus' successor has made his
public debut - but 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 and weighs nearly 10.5 ounces (300
grams); he made his debut after two months
in quarantine.
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.
Aquarium manager Stefan Porwoll said he was "actually supposed to meet his fellow octopus and media
star personally and learn from him," the news agency DAPD reported
