Octopus Paul is no doubt a big star of the 2010 World Cup because of his amazing prophetic abilities. Chinese Internet users even respectfully call him Octopus Emperor. After the World Cup, many countries tried to invite him to start a traveling show but all failed because he is too old.

Hangzhou Polar Ocean Park also invited him to be a guest. But sadly his journey was canceled. Instead, Paul's brother, another octopus went to Hangzhou Polar Ocean Park as compensation. It was learned that they both came from The Mediterranean Sea, but obviously he was much shier than Paul. It seemed that he was scared by the new environment. He huddled in a corner of the pool, with tentacles clinging to his head, unwilling to show his face. Even the color of his body changed from red to green.

Park management had intended to invite him to predict the price tendency of local real estates. However, they now have to wait until their guest settles his mind.
