Grape-kun

 * ... that Grape-kun, a Humboldt penguin, fell in love with a cutout of an anime character? Source: "Grape-Kin, a 20-year-old male penguin who lives in Toby Zoo in the town of Miyashiro, Eastern Japan, has attracted hoards of visitors as he tries to court the cartoon cutout of the female character called Hululu who features in an anime series called Kemono Friends."
 * Comment: Might be of interest to readers. Image possible but available ones not terribly eye-catching.

 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I removed all the uncontroversial cites from the lead, but in doing so may have removed some sources that verify other information in the article. Please feel free to add these cites where they belong (not in the lead). The hook is very catchy, but "falling in love" is not mentioned in the article, since you did a good job of phrasing it encyclopedically, calling it "attachment" and "devotion". Perhaps you could work it into the article by quoting a source? No QPQ needed for user with less than 5 DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 18:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review and please pardon my delayed reply. I have added a line about the media's description of the penguin's attachment and the zoo's drink "Loving Grape" (see ). Perhaps we can put quotation marks around "in love" in the hook?  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 05:07, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you,, I think you handled that very well. No quotes are needed in the hook IMO. No close paraphrasing seen in new sources. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:29, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
