Raccoon dubbed hero after Minnesota skyscraper climb
A raccoon that climbed to the top of a 25-story St. Paul, Minnesota, skyscraper early yesterday was captured after becoming a star on the web, where it won the hearts of followers across the United States and around the globe.
A reporter for the newspaper also tweeted that a private wildlife management company will release the animal “somewhere safe.” “I am so proud of this little r****l - such a fricking champ!!!!,” said Dana Frazer as she watched a live feed of the raccoon’s climb on Periscope, a live streaming site.
On Tuesday, the raccoon slowly scaled the building, reaching the 23rd floor as its legend grew on social media with every floor it climbed. As it ascended, well wishers gathered on the sidewalk below to root for its safety.
The hashtag #mprraccoon was trending yesterday where fans anxiously watched developments of the raccoon’s stunt. Social media went wild over the raccoon’s epic two day adventure scaling a 25-story Minnesota office tower as it finally reached rescuers at the top
