Oh God, radioactive mutant ninja raccoons from outer space that glow in the dark.

It does seem that those beams are steel “I” girders (damn this font!) with convenient ledges for crawling along.
Show me a racoon doing the same with plain wooden joists and I’l be more impressed.
If the Sly Cooper video game series has taught me anything it’s that you can never be too paranoid about stealthy raccoons sneaking around above you.

I was sleeping in a cabin and in the morning it sounded like there was an intruder in the kitchen. I listened for a while and concluded the intruder had a tail and was actually in the wall. I removed the drywall to find a raccoon that was covering its eyes with one paw. “If I can’t see you, you can’t see me”. This was a picture of the raccoon after it realized I could see it.

Makes sense. You know the literal translation of their German name is “drop bear.”*
*(Yes, yes, I know it’s really “wash bear.”)

I was really disappointed when I unmuted the video and didn’t hear the mission impossible theme song

It’s a bit of a trope, isn’t it.
