Raccoon climbed 200 meters up crane before going back down again

A fearless raccoon climbed more than 200 meters (700 feet) up a tower crane in Toronto, Canada. Rob MacFarlane spotted the raccoon clutching a ladder, looking a little apprehensive, with his eyes wide open.
MacFarlane said that it then went back down. The raccoon had made the 213-metre climb overnight and was waiting for MacFarlane when he arrived at work.
When he got close, the raccoon stared at him blankly and hissed a bit. Seemingly annoyed by MacFarlane’s presence, it then confidently made its descent to the ground.
This was not the first time MacFarlane has encountered a raccoon so high off the ground. Face-to-face, this was the second incident, but he has seen “evidence” multiple times before. “It’s not unusual,” he said. “Raccoons seem to like cranes.”
