Paul the octopus and Pierre the cockerel have picked the soccer results, but could there be a quokka that predicts the result of the 2016 Melbourne Cup?
Mumble – a six-year-old quokka from Peel Zoo – has tried his hand at it, taking his pick from the 27 horses taking part in Tuesday’s race that stops that nation.
According to the mammal’s slow, yet decisive deduction, Mumble has put his backing behind Great Britain’s horse Exospheric.
The four-year-old bay horse is yet to have a win under his saddle, so will the Melbourne Cup be the first?
Only time will tell.
