A Rio shark predicts Brazil win over Haiti at World Cup

Ritinha, the shark oracle at AquaRio, made her second prediction of the 2026 World Cup on Thursday, backing Brazil to defeat Haiti in its upcoming match.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the leopard shark swam toward a container placed at the bottom of the aquarium bearing the Brazilian flag, choosing it over the alternative option and delighting visitors gathered around the tank. AquaRio has turned Ritinha into its unofficial World Cup predictor, combining football fever with the aquarium's conservation message.
