Paul was born in 2006 at Weymouth sea life park in Dorset, England. Species - Octopus Vulgaris. The name Paul is taken from the title of a poem by Boy Lornsen, Der Tintenfisch Paul Oktopus.
According to statements from Sea Life's entertainment director, Daniel Fey, Paul showed his intelligence early on: "There was something about the way he looked at our visitors when they came close to the tank. It was so unusual, so we tried to find out what his special talents were." The first time Paul was tried out for predicting soccer match outcomes was during UEFA Euro 2008. Paul was correct in 80% of the predictions he made, but he was wrong in his prediction of the winner of the final match, which was Germany versus Spain. Paul predicted Germany would win, but Spain was the eventual winner.
Paul the Octopus lives in the Sea Life public aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany. Paul, who is sometimes called a "psychic" octopus" or " oracle octopus," is famous for his alleged ability to correctly predict the winner of soccer matches in which the German national football team is playing: so far his behavior has managed to predict the winner 11 out of 12 times.
