Tokyo zoo penguins in awe of giant on April Fool's Day

TOKYO (AFP) - Emperor penguins looked up in awe as Tokyo's main zoo unveiled its latest addition, a giant penguin said to be suspiciously close in height and weight to a human.

"A great discovery!" blared the special news release by the Ueno Zoo, saying the Tonosama (Lord) Penguin was 165 centimeters (five feet, six inches) tall and weighed 80 kilograms (176 pounds).

As the cameras rolled, the real penguins rose their beaks and gazed up at the purported Lord, but then walked away disinterested when he took off his penguin face to reveal himself to be zoo director Teruyuki Komiya.

The press release, which stressed the newly discovered animal would be unveiled on April 1, said the giant penguin's favorite food was "white fish meat with soy sauce."
