SOMERSBY, Australia, June 30 (UPI) -- A news crew shooting video at an Australian zoo captured video of a curious koala auditioning for the role of camera operator.

The NBN News crew was filming a segment last week at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby, New South Wales, when a koala took a shine to the crew's video camera and climbed on for a closer look.

The crew posted video to the station's Facebook page showing the koala trying her hand at camera operation and climbing atop the device for further investigation.

The zoo said in a Facebook post the "cheeky" koala, named Miley, was "trying to be one of the crew."
