MOSCOW (Reuters) - With three days until the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod hosts its first World Cup match between Sweden and South Korea, a local zoo on Friday asked its "animal oracle" for the result. Limpopo Zoo's tapir, called Cleopatra, had the task of choosing between two fruit bowls -- one with a Swedish flag on it and the other with a South Korean flag. Today, she predicted that the Sweden will win their match," he said. The tapir is a fruit and leaf-eating animal that lives in South and Central America but also in Southeast Asia. The pig-like creature is a rare choice to predict World Cup results.
