Daredevil Raccoon Starts Climbing A Skyscraper, And The Entire City Can’t Stop Watching

Call him crazy. Call him a daredevil. Call him a new urban hero!

A daring little raccoon decided he’d start climbing a skyscraper in St. Paul, Minnesota, and it proved to be a captivating performance for the entire city.

Everyone was just so fascinated with the adventurous creature, though many were concerned…

The higher he got, the more the danger rose. As the raccoon climbed, so did the anticipation and nerves of the city residents who watched with bated breath!

Many figured the poor guy wouldn’t make it. Eventually, he’d just lose his grip and plummet to an untimely demise.

But the climber wasn’t to be deterred!

And besides, he was able to rest at various floors in between when he got tired. In fact, this entire ordeal went on for days and days!

You might be wondering, “why doesn’t someone in the building just open a window and let him in?”

Well, that’s because none of the windows could be opened, so all anyone could do was wait and see if he could make it all the way to the top…

In advance of our intrepid hero’s ultimate ascent, the city’s safety department set out some live traps on the roof, so they’d be sure to snag him when he reached the summit.

And while this was happening, the hashtag “mprraccoon” started to circulate; the entire city, and eventually many people on the internet, were caught up in the event!

Amazingly enough, the raccoon DID make it to the top!

And he has since been safely captured and returned to the wild … where he won’t be tempted to scale any giant manmade structures any time soon. 😉
