Penguin is Norwegian army Colonel
A king penguin has been promoted to colonel-in-chief in the Norwegian army, after years of good service!
The bird, called Nils Olav, was made an honorary member of Royal Norwegian Guard in 1972, and has been rising through the ranks ever since.
Nils lives at Edinburgh Zoo, and was also presented with a penguin statue by the soldiers of his regiment, who are performing in the Military Tattoo.

Excellent initative, we should do the same with some of our senior NDHQ officers. Penguins can probably do as well as most of them...for less
