PORTLAND, Ore. -- Who's going to win the Super Bowl?If you believe Kutai, the Oregon Zoo's youngest orangutan, it's the Indianapolis Colts in a blowout.Kutai showed no hesitance in selecting a Colts T-shirt during the annual football forecasting tradition at the zoo Friday morning.Kutai has predicted the winner in four of the past five Super Bowl games, including the New York Giants' upset win over the New England Patriots in 2008. His only loss came last year when he incorrectly picked the Arizona Cardinals over the Pittsburgh Steelers.The zoo's orangutans have been predicting the Super Bowl since 1996.Inji, the matriarch of the Oregon Zoo's orangutans, was 6-1 at one point in picking Super Bowl winners, but has become less reliable in recent years. Dave Thomas, the zoo's senior primate keeper, said Kutai once took every shirt for one team, forcing Inji to select the opposition. "Sometimes her choice has been limited," Thomas said.Inji and Batik, the zoo's third orangutan, picked the New Orleans Saints to win.The Super Bowl is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
