The oddsmakers in Vegas continue to favor the Patriots by one point ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl. But when it comes to the animal kingdom, everyone from bunnies to birds are flocking to the Seahawks.

You have to love the penguins at the Cincinnati Zoo, which stuck together for a unanimous pick of the Seahawks.
ESPN’s Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, co-hosts of the show “His and Hers,” polled primates and a number of others at the Phoenix Zoo to come up with their expert picks, with most siding with the Seahawks.
Then there’s Teddy Bear the prognosticating porcupine. He’s successfully picked the last three Super Bowl winners including the Seahawks last year, and has Seattle winning a second straight Lombardi trophy. How can you poke a hole in that?
We did find some other animals that picked the Patriots, but they’re rare, shall we say endangered, species.
