Dubai: Bite me Luis Suarez! That’s the reaction of Shaheen the super camel.
When shown two photographs early Friday morning – one each of the Liverpool and Uruguay striker and former World Boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson – there was no hesitation from the clairvoyant prediction machine.
Shaheen opened his mouth wide, showed off all his teeth and gums, then sank his teeth into Suarez. Watch the full video below.
The striker has been handed a nine-match ban from the World Cup and fined 100,000 Swiss francs (Dh$10,00) for chomping the shoulder of an Italian defender.
It's the third time in his turbulent career that Suarez has been disciplined for sinking his teeth into opponents on the football field.
But it's the first time a camel has taken a chunk out of Suarez.
Shaheen was giving Gulf News his insight into the eight Round of 16 World Cup ties. But after he was finished giving his camel nod to his eight picks – click here to see exclusive video – the three-year-old ungulate took on the Tyson-Suarez challenge. And the tattooed Tyson was left alone. Shaheen is no chump, instead he chomped on Suarez, and proceeded to devour every morsel of the player's photograph.
Now you can show your support for the four-hooved predictor extraordinaire by pulling on a Team Shaheen T-shirt. We doubt Suarez will be rushing out to get himself one.
