At 2 p.m. today, Chai, the Asian elephant at the Woodland Park Zoo predicted that the University of Washington Huskies will win the Apple Cup.
Given the choice between a box of apples gift-wrapped in crimson and gray or purple and gold, Chai without hesitation headed straight for the purple box featuring the big W.
Once she finished her box of UW apples, Chai continued to eat all the apples in the WSU box. She then proceeded to trample both boxes and played with the hay.
What that in indicates is unsure though UW fans are surely hoping for a crushing victory.
The pachyderm prediction is a part of the zoo’s special Apple Cup admission discount. Now through Dec. 5, Huskies and Cougar fans get half off zoo admission if they're sporting any gear from the University of Washington or Washington State University, such as a jersey, sweatshirt, hat or gloves, or by showing a valid student ID from either university.
