Who's going to win the European Championship? Time to ask an elephant -- or a pig.

Poland's answer to Paul the Octopus -- the tentacled tipster who gained worldwide fame for his 2010 World Cup predictions -- is Citta the elephant. Ukraine, however, will probably go for an enormous beer-loving pig -- but there are big doubts about whether he can handle the media glare.

The parade of supposedly psychic animals comes as the two Eastern European nations gear up to co-host the continent's most prestigious soccer championship from June 8 to July 1.

The zoo in the southern Polish city of Krakow settled on a temperamental 33-year-old female pachyderm from India while Ukraine -- where slices of hog fat are the national dish -- is contemplating a happier destiny for a 2-year-old already named Psychic Pig.

The pig has a fondness for beer and fries and grunts in pleasure when he watches matches on television with his farmer owner, his publicist claimed Tuesday. But he still needs some PR training before he is presented to the public.

“We want to make sure he is calm -- we don't want him to get scared,” said Svitlana Bovkun, a spokeswoman for Kiev city administration.

Krakow zoo director Jozef Skotnicki said Citta, the apparently clairvoyant elephant, was chosen over a donkey, a parrot and another elephant after she correctly predicted that Chelsea would win the Champions League last week -- the annual competition between Europe's top clubs. She made her winning pick by choosing an apple above a blue-and-white logo for Chelsea rather one from opponent Bayern Munich, which sports a red, white and blue logo. (AP)
