If he's Nils Olav III, does that meant there were two previous penguins serving in a similar capacity?
Exactly. Per the zoo's page:
The name 'Nils Olav' and his ranks have been passed down through three generations of king penguins since 1972, with the current holder being Sir Nils Olav III.
You know, a family tradition
