Sir Nils Olav: Penguin Knight
Animal lovers at Scotland's Edinburgh
Zoo can visit Sir Nils Olav, a king penguin
who is a member of the Norwegian
King's Guard. Named for Lieutenant Nils
Egelien and Norway's former king, Olav
V, the penguin was chosen as the guard's
mascot in 1972. The current Nils Olav, the
third penguin to hold the name, received
honorary titles including honorable
regimental sergeant major and honorary
colonel-in-chief before being knighted in
2008. He was promoted once to Brigadier
by the Norwegian Guard in 2016. Sir Nils
currently resides with the rest of Edinburgh
Zoo's penguin colony, which includes the
largest outdoor penguin pool in Europe.
Book Spotlight: " For the Love of Cod "
Norway is known as one of the happiest countries in the world,
but what systems actually make it the country it is today?
Through the lens of a family trip in " For the Love of Cod: A Father
and Son's Search for Norwegian Happiness, " author Eric Dregni
explores Norway with his son Eilif to better understand their
heritage and the country's values. In a series of short chapters
aligned with the different locations the duo visits, Dregni details
key aspects of Norwegian culture, such as the generous social
security net, an attitude of environmental conservatism, and a sense of national
unity. In the process, he confronts his own misconceptions of Norway and his
perspective on happiness in America. The trip and the novel serve as a testament that
true happiness comes from community and care for one another. upress.umn.edu
