Skyscraper-Climbing Raccoon Rivets Internet: ‘Those Are Some Super Claws!’
That’s not spiderman — it’s a raccoon.
A groundswell of observers are taken with a raccoon that scaled the UBS building in St. Paul, Minnesota (and no, as far as we know, it’s not Rocket from “Guardians of the Galaxy”). Minnesota Public Radio was quick to dub the critter the #MPRaccoon on Tuesday, and the hashtag has been trending on Twitter since. Someone even made an account for the animal, tweeting out “I made a big mistake.” By Wednesday, the raccoon’s account had more than 3,500 followers.
St. Paul Animal Control lured the raccoon to the top of the building using cat food, and the animal is safe as of Wednesday morning, according to ABC7 News.
