The unofficial "mascot" of His Majesty The King's Guard, a battalion of the Norwegian Army, is a King Penguin named Nils Olav, which is part of the population at Edinburgh Zoo. The first penguin was adopted during the regiment's first participation in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 1961 and went on to achieve the rank of Regimental Sergeant-Major in 1993. The penguin died that year, and was replaced by a second penguin, also named Nils Olav. The current penguin was awarded the Norwegian Army's Long Service and Good Conduct medal in 2005 on the regiment's latest visit to the Tattoo.
