Drivers had called police to warn that a family of ducks was dangerously close to traffic on a highway in northern Germany.
"When the squad car arrived the mother duck fled across the railing of a bridge and into the Oker river and left behind five ducklings," police in the city of Braunschweig said in a statement on Wednesday.
After a zig-zag chase, the ducklings were reunited with their mother and swam away.
