Slip slidin’ away,” they wrote. In the next line the park added a reference to a recent safety advisory post which was shared on the official Twitter profile of NHS (National Health Service) Lothian.

A few days ago, the healthcare service provider shared an advisory post in which they asked people to “Walk like penguin” to avoid slipping on ice. The park taking that reference, wittily wrote, “Experts believe that to avoid slipping on ice, you should walk like a penguin.”

“That didn't help one of our Bird Keepers who took an unplanned dip in the cold Penguin Pool recently. No penguins were harmed, although a Keeper's pride was slightly damaged,” they hilariously added and concluded the post.
