Walter, a 35-year-old Sumatran orangutan living at Dortmund Zoo, will make predictions for all matches involving the German national team as well as the final in July.
He previously predicted that Borussia Dortmund would win the 2014 cup final in the country against Bayern Munich, by picking up the Dortmund shirt and putting it on his head, however he was wrong as Bayern beat their opponents 2-0.
Twenty-four nations have qualified for the tournament, each with a guaranteed three matches to play in the group stage.
This summer will see the likes of England, Spain, France and hosts Germany all go head to head across the course of a month, hoping to displace Italy as reigning continental champions.
