Disclaimer: No one slipped anything into your coffee, no you’re not dreaming, yes something you’d only see in a Disney cartoon has happened in real life.

A penguin at Edinburgh Zoo was made a brigadier.

During the ceremony, he inspected the soldiers of the King of Norway’s Guard. Though delighted by the honour, he seems to have taken it in his (short) stride.
