King Penguin "Sir Nils" (a large bird that snack on small fish) have been promoted to the rank of Brigadier with over 50 members of the Guard visiting the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland on Monday. Nils is the third line of penguins given Honorary ranks in the Norwegian Army. The first Nils started off as a Mascot back in 1972 and received the rank of corporal in 1982. Sir Nils Olav III whose one out of his most important roles is acting as a Mascot to His Majesty the King of Norway's Guard, was Knighted back in 2008 hence the "III" at the end of his name. In couple of decades Sir Nils might become an Admiral. Source :CNET
