Russian police stop traffic to help family of ducks cross road

Police in Russia’s southern city of Krasnodar stopped traffic on a busy road to allow a family of ducks to cross safely. In a video that has gone viral on Russian social media, police are seen moving a traffic sign to stop the flow of cars and guide the ducks to the side of the road. The incident reportedly happened near a police checkpoint that was set up to enforce restrictions on movement in the city due to the coronavirus pandemic. The ducks reportedly made it safely to their destination — a pond a few hundred metres away.
