Sorry cats, but when it comes to climbing tall buildings, you've got nothing compared to raccoons.

In Ocean City, New Jersey Friday, a raccoon was spotted a jaw-dropping nine stories up a building. The raccoon proceeded to leap off the building, hit the soft sand with its little raccoon feet, and scamper away.

Twitter reacted with shock -- and explanations:

This isn't the first time a raccoon has been spotted climbing a tall building. In June, a raccoon climbed to the top of a 25-story skyscraper. It was then captured and released safely into the wild.

Where I'm from, raccoons were known for digging into the good trash at McDonald's and giving kids rabies. I'm so glad people get to see the other, better, braver side of raccoons.
