    If you visit the Edinburgh Zoo, be prepared to salute — in August a penguin named Nils Olav was promoted to colonel-in-chief of the Royal Norwegian Guard.

    Apparently penguins are pretty active in the Guard — since 1982 they've held the ranks of lance corporal, sergeant, and regimental sergeant major. They're certainly dressed for it.

    This is that norwegian penguin (some Olav) that's part of the King's army/emblem. It was even given some rank in the Royal Norwegian Army and this photo i guess was taken after it :-)
