Spider Man raccoon conquers 25-storey skyscraper

Thousands of Twitter users followed the escapades of the raccoon on Tuesday as it slowly inched up the side of the UBS Plaza building in St. Paul, Minnesota. Minnesota Public Radio reporters and occupants of the building posted pictures and updates on the animal -dubbed the #MPRraccoon as it scaled the rough surface of the skyscraper storey-by-storey in true ‘Spider-Man’ style. Hollywood director James Gunn offered to donate US$1000 (FJ$2000) to charity in the name of anyone who saved the raccoon.
