Funfact: Nils Olav is a penguin, mascot of the Norwegian Royal Guard with the rank of brigadier general and the position of colonel-in-chief. It lives in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland, and is considered a symbol of the close collaboration between the two countries.

2. The other penguins have adopted names of the old gods. “Who cares Nils if you are a brigadier general, were all f@cking gods”.

   Little known fact that Penguins learn how to swear like sailors upon arrival in Scotland.
