World Cup predictions: Toronto Zoo's Bob the sloth taps Germany for World Cup win
Because who doesn't like a two-toed sloth
The Germans might have had Paul the octopus but Toronto has Bob the sloth — when it comes to random animals used to predict a sports-related winner.
Bob the two-toed sloth predicted Friday at the Toronto Zoo that Germany will win the championship match against Argentina on Sunday.

Here is a video of Bob making his predictions for the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup in earlier this month.
