Lions at UK sanctuary make playful predictions for England's World Cup matches

At the Big Cat Sanctuary in the UK, lions and lionesses participated in a World Cup-themed activity on June 16. The animals chose between boxes decorated with the flags of England's group-stage opponents: Croatia, Ghana, and Panama. Lioness sisters Amani and Lira favored England over Croatia, while male lion Rori also supported the Three Lions against Ghana. However, lioness Vanda selected Panama's box, suggesting a potential upset in the final group-stage match. These selections are being interpreted as light-hearted predictions for England's campaign in the upcoming World Cup.
