A lucky raccoon who jumped from a nine-storey tower block escaped without injury.

The 'daredevil' animal was spotted trying to scale a tall building in New Jersey's Ocean City on Friday (21.09.18) and gathered a large crowd of onlookers, who saw the animal propel itself onto the sandy ground and run off without a graze.
A video which shows the raccoon jump off the nine storey building and thud onto the sandy floor was filmed by Micha Rea and has gone viral on social media.
Before the animal jumped, the crowd called animal control in a hope they'd be able to save the raccoon but it turned out gravity and luck helped the animal master the vertical drop.
The creature quickly ran off after his daring fall onto the ground and the large crowd gave him a round of applause, with one woman shouting: ''Oh, he's fine!''
