All those who once eagerly relied on Paul the Octopus to predict the outcome of World Cup matches can now turn to Shaheen the Camel for a little help.

“Shaheen declared himself ready at the flutter of an oversized eyelash for the challenge of guessing the outcome of Brazil 2014 matches,” the Dubai-based Gulf News reported on Tuesday.
The newspaper will be using the camel to predict one World Cup game starting Thursday.
“Matching Paul the Octopus’s near-perfect record may be beyond the trusty steed, but only the most up-to-date camel-football-predicting technology will be used to determine who will lift the World Cup trophy,” the report added.
