A racoon saved itself after a deadly fall when it  plunged from a bridge above a busy road in America.  The raccoon was spotted clinging onto the bridge and the emergency services rushed to its rescue.
They set up a blanket to catch him and tried to lure him away from the edge of the bridge, but the creature jumped and missed the blanket. The Rescuers were expecting the worst - but then the racoon was back on its paws soon after. After a check-up, the animal was found physically fit, and was released back into the wild in Sacramento, California.

"We see pretty amazing things so I guess I'm constantly prepared to be amazed. This racoon is pretty amazing." Said one of the Vets

Note: Racoons are mammals that belong to the order Carnivora of the class Mammalia. The total of 21 species of racoons make up the family Procyonidae.
