An
elderly penguin has been left heartbroken after a cardboard cutout of a cartoon
character it had fallen in love with was taken away to safeguard it from a
typhoon.
Grape-kun
was pictured slumped in despair after keepers removed the cutout from his
enclosure at Tobu Zoo, in Miyashiro, Japan amid
fears it could be blown away.
The
20-year-old penguin began an unlikely romance with the cardboard character
after being 'dumped' by a female with whom he was coupled with for ten years.

'Hululu
has to evacuate because of the typhoon,' tweeted the Tobu Zoo Twitter account.
'Sorry, Grape-kun.'
Zoo staff
was concerned for Grape-kun after the end of his relationship with Midori, who
left him for a younger penguin.
