Cel mai cunoscut pinguin din lume, Sir Nils Olav, de la gradina zoologica din Edinburgh, Scotia, care a primit in 2008 titlul de cavaler in Garda de Onoare a Norvegiei, a fost din nou decorat, scrie metro.co.uk.
In cadrul unei ceremonii grandioase, la care au participat 50 de soldati norvegieni, acesta a primit gradul de „sef de brigada” pentru anii in care s-a dedicat slujirii in Garda de Onoare a Norvegiei. Este al treilea pinguin care este pus in aceasta postura.
Pinguinul reprezinta un simbol al relatiei deosebite dintre Scotia si Norvegia. Aceasta traditie cu pinguinii decorati dateaza din 1972. Nils este vizitat frecvent la Gradina Zoologica din Edinburgh de membrii Garzii.
