With the Covid-19 crisis prompting unprecedented public lockdowns, the police are often tasked with keeping order, including ensuring roadways are kept clear for essential travel – all while sparing these cute little canards from an untimely death.

While no press release has yet been issued on the traffic emergency, it’s safe to assume that the momma duck and her adorable line of ducklings made it off the highway to safety.
