This might be the nuttiest gambling story of the year. You’ve got to read it to believe it. From the Independent Online:
Traditional beliefs about the clairvoyant powers of vultures could spell trouble for the birds as gamblers look for a sure bet during the World Cup.
According to muti tradition, eating the brains of a vulture or wearing a newly decapitated vulture head can grant one the ability to see into the future and predict the results of a soccer match.
The South African vulture population has plunged to an alarmingly low level and conservationists have blamed gamblers and lotto players for the recent decline in numbers.
So gamblers are the natural predators of vultures? What does that say about their place on the food chain?
