The Norwegian King’s Guard clearly has a cute sense of honor:

The original Nils Olav first became an honorary member of the regiment in 1972, when a young lieutenant called Nils Egelien visited the penguins at the zoo, but died in the 1980s, and was replaced by the current Nils Olav.

The photo is by the Associated Press and they have a nice collection of similar shots. It really does look like Nils Olav is doing an inspection. I wonder if the guard uses fish oil or similar scent to keep Nils engaged.
