A group of mystic meerkats have predicted that England will come out on top against Ukraine in the Euro 2020 quarter-final.

The animals at Drusillas Park in Sussex correctly predicted that the Three Lions would beat Germany in the last 16 and have now given their backing to Gareth Southgate's side.

Food buckets with the flags of both countries were placed in the meerkat enclosure and more of the animals opted to head for the English flag.

Zoo Animal Manager Mark Kenward said: "There’s a real buzz around the mystical meerkats since they predicted England would win against Germany and got it right! They’re enjoying their five minutes of fame and the keepers are glad they backed England again.

"All the animals we have at Drusillas Park are very intelligent and require stimulation physically and mentally and this is perfect for them.

"They all enjoyed their favourite treat of mealworms while enjoying some football-themed enrichment!"
