Apparently, this skill means buildings at the same time — the St. Paul raccoon offers climbed the 25-story office tower with relative ease. It’s normal for a raccoon to climb to heights of 20 or 30 feet, but scaling a big building in this way is very unusual. By the point the raccoon reached the building’s upper stories, a sizeable audience had gathered below, with binoculars, signs, as well as stuffed raccoon. A marquee on Minnesota Public Radio’s building across the street flashed: “St. Paul’s downtown raccoon reaches new heights.”
At around 10:30 PM, the raccoon apparently had provide power to climbing and began to descend, stopping on the 17th floor unwind.
