King penguin? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emperor

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'king' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'penguin?' is the second definition.
(emperor penguin is a kind of penguin)

(Other definitions for emperor that I've seen before include "Ruler - penguin - size of paper" , "Say, Nero" , "Sovereign - ruler" , "Penguin of largest known species - a great ruler" , "chap such as Charlemagne" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
