Penguin made Norwegian knight

King penguins are the second largest species of penguin, second in size only to the Emperor Penguin. King penguins were the stars in Happy Feet ,and in case you are wondering, as far as conservation status, they are in the "Least Concern" category. And one of them became a Norwegian knight last week, at the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland.

That's right, king penguin Nils Olav was made a knight of the Norwegian King's Guard.

But don't confuse him with the first Nils Olav. Nils Olav is actually the third Nils Olav, who received the name and rank of the second Nils Olav the penguin, who received the title and rank from the original Nils Olav. Confused? Me too. But the video below seems to make this all seem quite normal.
