The seal sanctuary charity rescues and provides expect care for sick, injured or distressed seals, alongside other marine animals found on shores in the UK.
Nurturing them back to full health to return to their natural environment, the sanctuary also offers a permanent home to seals which cannot return to the wild.
The trend for seals picking winners was Initially started by another at the sanctuary, called 'Banana', who had previously predicted the winners during the UEFA European Championship in 2020.
Now 'Jinx' has taken over the reigns for the Six Nations fixtures, going viral for accurately predicting the winners of Six Nations matches.
And Jinx thinks it will be Wales who triumph when they play England on Saturday, February 26.
The seals at the enclosure have become online celebrities, boasting millions of views for waddling in the direction of the winning team, after previously picking Wales to triumph over Scotland.
It comes after an octopus became famous for predicting the winners of the 2010 football World Cup.
"Jinx is a resident seal and lives here at our sanctuary for her various health issues which means she has to have ongoing treatment with steroids, if not for that she would become incredibly poorly.
"We like to do some sort of enrichment with them to help stimulate their brain which is usually through interaction with our animal care team and we just let her choose which team she wants to win. She has got a very bouncy personality and this was a great way to do it," said Cornish Seal Sanctuary spokeswoman, Kayleigh Slowey.
Speculating that the seal may be psychic, the team have dismissed comments that fish or food may be stored behind certain flags to help persuade the seals over.
"There is no cheating involved, they do get rewarded after they've made their choice" she added.
