This weekend is going to be crazy busy. The Super Bowl is happening on Sunday and that means everyone will be hitting up the grocery store and their favorite restaurant for chicken wings and pizza, avocados for guacamole, and Velveeta for chili con queso. Everyone will also be shopping for Valentine’s Day on Monday or going out early to avoid the rush on Monday. But on Saturday, you and the whole family can enjoy an annual event that has become a tradition at the El Paso Zoo.
WHO IS GONNA WIN THE BIG GAME, SAVANNAH?
The El Paso Zoo will once again see if their Asian elephant, Savannah, can predict the winner of Super Bowl. Savannah gets given two helmet-shaped piñatas in her exhibit by Ella and this year she will choose between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals.

BUT IS SAVANNAH A FOOTBALL GAL?
It’s no secret that I don’t care about football. It is a sport that I will only watch if I really have to. Not a fan. But Savannah apparently is and she is actually pretty good with the whole prediction thing. This is the eleventh year that the El Paso Zoo has had Savannah try her hand from her, or rather her hoof from her, at predicting the winner of the Super Bowl. In those eleven tries, she has gotten the Super Bowl winner right in seven of those eleven predictions. Not bad for someone who can’t even work the tv remote.
