Nils Olav, Baron of Bouvet Island is a king penguin who currently resides in the Edinburgh Zoo. There have been three Nils Olavs since 1972, with the current holder named Sir Major General Nils Olav III.

The story as told by the BBC is as follows... "Back in 1961 Norway's King's Guard, part of Norway's army, visited Scotland for a drill display at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Whilst visiting Major Nils Egelien, one of the King's Guard, reportedly fell in love with the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo, saying that the way they walked reminded him of how the King's Guard soldiers marched.

When the soldiers returned to Edinburgh in 1972 Major Nils Egelien arranged for them to adopt a king penguin as their official military mascot.

The zoo agreed, and named a penguin Sir Nils Olav, after Major Nils Egelien and the King of Norway at the time, King Olav V."

Nils has been promoted over the years. He is currently a Major General.
