A koala was seen clinging to a stop sign overnight Wednesday in Australia, according to ABC News.
The gray marsupial was photographed by South Australia Police, who quickly shared it on their Facebook page.
The department had fun with the photo's caption.
"Police found this potential recruit helping out with traffic control overnight at Glen Osmond. Patrols had "bearly" started their shift when they came across the keen little fellow clinging to the stop sign at the bottom of the South-Eastern Freeway," they said.
"After a brief chat, he was escorted back up the bank and safely up a tree. Before he left, he told police that he and his friends often cross the road by the Tollgate and asked for motorists to keep an eye out for them. He also "re-paw-ted" to police that Koalas aren't bears."
The South Australia Police are not strangers to encountering koalas. The department gave them water to drink during a severe heat wave last year.
