My main perceptions of raccoons come from Pocahontas’s Meeko, and that episode of Friends when Joey blames all his failing on ‘this raccoon that came in’.

I wouldn’t ordinarily describe them as ‘brave’…until now.

One raccoon has changed everything when it did a Mission: Impossible-esque jump from nine stories high, followed by a superhero landing.

You won’t believe your eyes, here is the video:

The shocking video, filmed in New Jersey, shows the mammal scaling a building and finding itself with no way down.

As the crowd of onlooking people record and gawk at the stranded raccoon (very helpful as always), it takes a leap of faith and makes a shockingly smooth landing.

Luckily it was right by the beach and the little guy landed on sand, but it was quite a risk to scale the building like that.
