This Raccoon Scaled a 25-story Building in Minnesota

This little raccoon captivated the internet by scaling a 25-story building in St. Paul, Minnesota. It’s noteworthy that the building he chose to climb did not have any balconies or open windows, so once he went up, he had nowhere else to go.

Someone caught him taking a much-deserved rest break on the 23rd floor.

He is on the ledge on our floor. He seems to be doing well. We’ve been told that the building has live traps on the roof and are trying to get him to go up there. We all just have to keep our fingers crossed.. #mprraccoon pic.twitter.com/HY1PkuFKz0

The #mprraccoon is doing a little grooming now that he's a social media star. You know, on a 23rd floor window ledge. @MPRnews pic.twitter.com/pGcwh7OJ6L

Don’t worry, the raccoon made it to the roof where there were live traps set up. He was safely transported to an “undisclosed location” by Wildlife Management.

After a delicious meal of soft cat food, #mprraccoon has been caught and will be picked up by Wildlife Management. Goodbye friend! pic.twitter.com/twcBPpjOQk
