Raccoon Climbing a Minnesota Skyscraper Captivates the Internet

The little raccoon’s story began Monday when several Twitter users snapped photos of this raccoon stranded on a second-story ledge in St. Paul, Minn.

Late Tuesday morning, rescuers tried to tempt the raccoon down with a long pole, but he wasn’t having it.

Instead, he hopped over to the UBS Plaza next door, and began climbing. And climbing.
