The home nation Germany wins the premiere in the European Championship against Scotland tonight. At least if you believe the elephant Bubi.

Many will remember the octopus Paul, who correctly predicted the outcome of all Germany's World Championship matches in South Africa in 2010. Paul gained legendary status after retiring after the championship 14 years ago.

Now it's the African elephant Bubi's turn to predict.

On Thursday, Bubi, who lives in a reserve in Thüringen in central Germany, was tasked with tipping the winner of the European Championship premiere between Germany and Scotland by kicking a ball towards one of the nations' flags.

The elephant kicked the ball towards the German flag.

The zookeepers discovered Bubi's football interest by chance, when a ball rolled into her enclosure and the elephant immediately kicked the ball back.

The European Championship premiere takes place tonight at 21.00.
