Doris Duke's Camel Predicts the Super Bowl
A camel from New Jersey, formerly owned by Duke, has predicted the winner of the next Super Bowl.

A camel has apparently decided the fate of the Super Bowl.
The camel named Princess, which formerly belonged to Newport’s very own Doris Duke and now resides in New Jersey, has favored the New York Giants to win the big game, according to the Providence Journal.
Here's how it works, according to the website of Popcorn Park Zoo, which is where Princess lives: "Each week one of the radio shows hosts comes out to Popcorn Park and writes the names of two teams that are playing each other that week on the palm of their hands. They put a graham cracker, Princess’ very favorite treat, on top of each palm and let Princess pick one. She only picks one game a week (but for the playoffs she has made an exception). Whichever cracker she chooses first indicates the team she has picked to win."
