Catching animals *actually* crossing the road isn't something you see much in highly-urbanised cities. Except maybe Australian cities, where the country's wildlife often pop into people's homes and out of their vehicles.

But rather than dealing with snakes or spiders, motorists on a busy highway in Sydney on Sunday had to contend with a group of ducks crossing the road. And as a video shared by 7 News shows, it was a heart-stopping thriller.

Look out, ducks!

While some cars screamed past the mother duck and her babies, narrowly avoiding them, other drivers were kind enough to slow down as the ducks made their way across the road.

And somehow, they made their way to the other side, unharmed. Phew.

Go forth, little ducks!
