Buyan is one of a menagerie of animals in host country Russia that has predicted the outcome of World Cup games, with rivals including Sochi’s Harry the otter, Samara’s white goat Zabiyaka, St Petersburg’s cat Achilles, Kaliningrad’s hippos Milya and Glyasik and Nizhny Novgorod’s tapir Cleopatra
Two halves of watermelon were laid on in Buyan’s enclosure in the Royev Ruchey zoo in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. One half of the melon had a small French flag planted in it, while the other had the Croatian flag sticking out of it.

Buyan, a male Siberian brown bear, sauntered up to the watermelon halves, momentarily sniffed at the French one, before shuffling across to the Croatian watermelon. He then proceeded to sit down next to it and munch away enthusiastically.
