High climbing racoon

[Catherine]

A Toronto crane operator got an interesting surprize when he climbed his crane. Someone was already up there, a furry masked someone.
Racoons are known for getting things and climbing things, but this little guy was a loooooong way up. I read that it was 58 stories.

Racoons are either fearless or a little crazy. Or perhaps they are fearlessly crazy.

Oh wow!
They must be a bit like our Badgers; determined to go anywhere -only in a more vertical sense -whereas Badgers just 'do their thing' horizontally! haha

That is pretty high for a Racoon. He must have wondered what the heck happened!

(I like the comment by Raccoon Nation TO....about lunch...)

That was a pretty high climb even for a racoon. It wasn't the first time because there have been racoon droppings up there before.

He wanted a better view and lunch.
Maybe he wanted to see where the new green bins are. The green bins are for our kitchen waste. The racoons think of them as Meals on Wheels. So the city is trying out a new design of green bin, They are absolutely racoon proof. At least that is what we humans think. We shall see what the racoons think.

I would bet on the racoons.
