King penguin receives knighthood

Published: Aug. 16, 2008 at 8:48 AM
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Nils Olav, a king penguin at the Edinburgh Zoo, may not be actual royalty, but he's getting close -- the flightless bird has been knighted.

The penguin has long been the mascot of the King's Guards of Norway, and in that role has risen through their ranks, starting out as a lowly lance corporal and eventually making it to colonel-in-chief, The Daily Telegraph reported.

But Friday, Nils Olav became Sir Nils Olav as 130 King's guardsmen gathered at the Edinburgh Zoo to knight the penguin in a formal ceremony. The bird reportedly came out to inspect the troops and celebrated his peerage with some tasty dead fish.

The Telegraph said an earlier Nils Olav king penguin was first adopted by the Norwegian soldiers in 1962 and each successor has proudly worn the mantle of the regiment's mascot.
