Puzyryok, the white whale from the dolphinarium on Pionersky Prospekt in Anapa, has predicted a victory for the Russian team in the first match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Two inflatable balls, one featuring the Russian flag, the other Saudi Arabia’s, were thrown into the pool with the white whale. Puzyryok chose the ball with the Russian flag and brought it to the coach. The dolphinarium staff repeated the experiment and got the same result.

Athletes from Russia and Saudi Arabia will enter the field on 14 June.
