Lemurs at Phoenix Zoo predict men's Final Four winners.

PHOENIX — Who will win the men's NCAA Final Four games in Phoenix? Some may say it is too "zoo-n" to tell, but not the lemurs at the Phoenix Zoo!

Red-ruffed lemurs Comet, Mantabe and Ankavia picked which teams would win in the men's Final Four games at State Farm Stadium by choosing team-labeled bags of lettuce. 

The lemurs accurately predicted the Purdue Boilmaker's win against the NC State Wolfpack and the UConn Huskies to win against the Alabama Crimson Tide. 

With so many busted brackets this season, there's only one question left to ask: did you just get out done by a lemur?
