       At the Tobu Zoo in Saitama prefecture, Japan, there lived a 21 year-old penguin named Grape-kun. He gained internet popularity from being emotionally attached to a cardboard cutout of an anime character. Unfortunately, Grape-kun died on October 12, 2017. He was known to separate from the rest of his group of penguins to be with the cutout, even stop eating just to be with it. When Grape-kun died in the animal hospital, he was next to, you guessed it, the cutout of the anime girl.
