We all have our guesses as to who will win the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Friday, but a Zoo Atlanta panda has made its choice public.
On Facebook Monday, the cityās famed zoo posted footage of Yang Yang, the playful, easygoing giant panda, choosing between the No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs and the No. 8 Cincinnati Bearcats as the victors of the NCAA football playoffs.
Yang Yang didnāt waste time making his pick known. He strolled up to the box with the Bulldogsā logo on it before tearing into it and enjoying what was inside.
Many fans were delighted by the pandaās choice and they said as much in the comments.
āPerfect choice, Yang Yang! Go Dawgs!!!ā one Facebook user said.
Another remarked, āYang Yang is a winner!ā
For those suspicious of Yang Yang choosing the home team, Zoo Atlanta commented that each box had the same contents: hay, leafeater biscuit treats, and Tabasco, which is Yang Yangās favorite scent.
āOnly Yang Yang knows why he chooses one over another,ā the zoo said.
Yang Yang came to Zoo Atlanta with his mate, Lun Lun, in 1999. Before then, he stayed with his mother for 13 months as part of a behavioral study conducted by Zoo Atlanta and Chinaās Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, which is where he was born. Lun Lun and Yang Yang are the mother and father of all seven of the giant panda cubs born at Zoo Atlanta.
Heās not only fond of the scent of Tabasco, either ā he also enjoys lavender, according to his Zoo Atlanta animal personality page.
