Shut up, you can do the 25 floors!
A raccoon must do what a raccoon needs to do. And sometimes that is: climbing. For example, the day before yesterday in Minnesota. There, a raccoon first climbed onto an office building . The security staff caught him on the roof, brought him downstairs, all right – for now.
Was not enough for the raccoon. He wanted to go higher. His new destination: the UBS Plaza, a 25-story high-rise, 93 meters high. Floor after floor, he climbed up the outside facade, climbed sideways, sometimes down a few meters – and was followed by both passers-by and Twitter users in amazement.
Tim Nelson, MPR News reporter, was one of the first to report on the raccoon, which quickly got its own hashtag: #MPRraccoon. Nelson was filming him, for example, when the bear rested on the 23rd floor, scratched, stretched. May be ever, such a pause.
Drolliges animal climbs to life-threatening heights: Of course, went #MPRraccoon viral. On Twitter popped up one tweet after another. One user, who appears to be working in the UBS Plaza, photographed the raccoon as he passed the user’s window during his ascent. “He seems to be fine,” he writes, “we have to keep our fingers crossed for him.”
Also here in Germany feeberten users. With ironic tongues, the raccoon seems to have received more attention than the Summit of Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un. Also here in Germany feeberten users.

The good news, by the way: The raccoon has arrived safely on the roof. There, the building staff had set up live traps to bring the animal safely back to the ground. But who knows, maybe it has already spotted the next climbing house.
