The animal was first seen in a niche in the wall of the Town Square building on Monday. When building workers tried to tempt the raccoon down with a long pole, it instead escaped to the UBS Plaza where it began its 23-story hike.

The raccoon has gotten Twitter so excited that someone has even started an account on the critter's behalf: "The St. Paul Raccoon."

On Tuesday, a city spokesperson for animal control tweeted, "We've been in touch with wildlife organizations… We're hoping it gets to the top so we can set a trap for it there."
