Raccoon runs from third floor of a hotel down the stairs and car's engine

This raccoon found itself in a tough position and then tried to escape. Animal rescuers in Florida had to help a raccoon that found itself on the third floor of a hotel before fleeing into the engine compartment of an SUV. Wilifelife, Inc., an animal rescue group based in Bradenton, said the rescuers were called to the Bridge Street Hotel when the raccoon was spotted wandering around the third floor inside the building. The animal managed to escape during the rescue attempt, and scurried down the stairs and into the engine compartment of a 2013 Nissan Sentra. Animal rescuers and the vehicle’s owner attempted to coax the animal out from under the hood for several hours before a veterinarian was brought to the scene to sedate the raccoon for a safe extraction. The raccoon was taken to a shelter to be examined and was determined to be uninjured, the rescuers say a few days later the raccoon was released at a “safe location.”
