Here’s a mama duck and her babies crossing a highway, enjoy your heart attack

Everyone's fine! Except you, because you died of stress watching it.

Hey, here’s a joke! Why did the ducklings cross the road? To stop my fucking heart.

Everyone makes it across the road OK, but there are a couple of really close calls, which will probably make you leap to your feet and call for the immediate ejection of humans from Earth. But it’s still worth watching for the sense of relief that descends once all the babies make it across in one piece.
