A koala family traffic jam is the only kind of traffic jam that should exist

No frustation here, just a whole lot of furballs.

The koala is the animal world's gift that keeps on giving. When they're not communing with butterflies, they're rescuing joeys -- such is their benevolent and peaceful nature.

And where there's a koala doing literally anything, there's a phone camera ready to document it. So when a handful of the adorable creatures fell into a momentary "dogpile" situation at Sydney's Wildlife Zoo, you can bet that zookeeper Jess Cook recorded it for your enjoyment, saying "With so many perches available, I don't know why they all choose the same one."

It was perhaps more of a shoving contest that it was a cuddle puddle though, as one adult koala attempted to get past another adult carrying two joeys, one on her front and one on her back.

The pushy fur ball tried breaking up the family via nudging them, before deciding scrambling on top of the trio was the best approach.

Meanwhile, another joey is all like "we can twade bwanches if you'd pwefer some space?"

The struggle of branch-sharing is very real, but the chill of koalas is eternal.
