An image of an Australian stop sign has gone viral. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s climbed into the hearts of the internet’s esteem. That’s because, just underneath the sign itself, is a koala clinging to the pole and staring directly at the camera.
A police patrol in South Australia had just “bearly” started their shift when they happened upon this mislaid marsupial. Officers were quickly able to help the eucalyptus-eating animal up a bank and into a tree.
Their Facebook post even notes a couple of “requests” from their furry friend: koalas in South Australia are known to cross streets, so watch out for them. And please remember: koalas aren’t bears, so watch which puns you employ.
