[quote]TORONTO — A death-defying raccoon is causing a sensation in Toronto for its long climb up a towering downtown skyscaper.
Social media is lighting up with a photo of the furry adventurer peering from between the metallic rungs of a crane about 58 storeys high.

[the crane operator] estimates the raccoon climbed about 213 metres to its destination overnight.
The masked critter calmly climbed back down the crane this morning after he yelled at it to leave, he says.[/quote]

Wonder what it figured it'd find up there?

I want a pet raccoon but I'm 99.99% sure thats a bad idea.

Rocket Raccoon is aiming for the sky :')

Holy shit Sly is real :o

On another note, that raccoon just looks awesomely cute!

Makes my mind wander though, thinking of how that little dude managed to get up there and why it did it.

Raccoons make great pets.

Wouldn't it just eat all your garbage then poop everywhere?

if that's the case, why bother? my dog already does that.

Most mammals I know of can be raised to not shit everywhere inside your house, they just need to grow up with you as the person taking care of the creature and if it grows up as the house being a "no-shit-zone" so to say.

If a fox can be raised as a pet, I am quite sure a raccoon can too, considering its intelligence.

Oh man, I made a YTMND of this in 2006, this takes me back.

[sltungle]

I like the idea of a man yelling at a raccoon (specifically that it must leave).

After all these years, I finally found where it actually came from.

[DaCommie1]

The raccoon probably just wanted to ask how to get into the new "raccoon-proof" green bins.

Seriously though, they're such a menace. These fat fucks tip over the green (compost) bins every garbage day, tossing organic waste all over the sidewalks, and the garbagemen won't touch the shit that falls out of the bin, so you have to go clean up after these fuckers. And they're [I]everywhere[/I]. You see whole families of these fuckers tipping the bins over all the time, and that's not all they do, they get into fights with cats and dogs too. I don't know about you, but if my cat lost an eye because of a fight with one of these fat, diseased fuckers I'd be right pissed.

My friend has friendly raccoons in her yard that she used to feed and pet as a child until her mom was like "hey those fuckers are like mini bears, don't fuck around with them."

It was adorable and those raccoons were so sweet but it was a really dumb thing for us to do

[buttsexv3]

if you feed the raccoons they tend to not dig through the trash. I've got raccoons that hang around in my back yard sometimes and once I started leaving food out for them they stopped making a mess.

just stay away from the babies, they'll fuck you up good over that

Maybe it's the raccoon version of cattle tipping. At least cows don't spill organic waste every time you tip them.

My uncle used to have a pet raccoon, and it made for a fine pet! Well, until it got big... then it just tore shit up. Can't say I remember what exactly my uncle did with it after that, as I was young, will have to ask my dad.

[Recurracy]

Raccoons are fucking bonkers

[GayIlluminati]

The fact that Katatonic has not yet posted in this thread is unsettling. I wonder what type of trouble he's gotten himself into this time.

[woaka]

Sooo cute.

[Coldmute]

After a tornado came through my area and displaced the local wildlife, a family of raccoons took up living in our backyard alongside the cats that showed up at the same time. And a opossum. They all coexisted pretty peacefully, they'd have their safe distances and such but they'd all let each other eat and just kinda chill together. Was kinds cool to see them so close.
