Penguin dies next to cardboard cut-out he 'fell in love with'
A penguin that became an internet star after developing an unusual affection for a cardboard anime character has died with the cut-out by his side.
Grape, who was 21-years-old, hit the headlines earlier this year after he grew attached to the cut-out of an anthropomorphic female penguin.
The elderly Humboldt penguin touched hearts around the world when he was constantly pictured standing next to Hululu, a character from the series Kemono Friends.
Grape lived at Tobu Zoo in Miyashiro, Japan and is said to have become attracted to Hululu after being rejected by female penguin Midori, who he had been courting for ten years.
His feelings appeared to be so strong that zoo staff left the cut-out character in the enclosure despite the promotion it was placed there for ending many months ago.
