WITH PIX AND VID
By Shuk Yee Tsang
A startled raccoon peeks out from inside a house wall after renovators break through plaster to investigate strange noises coming from within.
Todd Enright, 56, a house flipper from New York, USA, discovered the unexpected guest while renovating a property and rescued them out the wall.
Todd said he initially feared the sounds could be coming from a trapped pet.
The team had been working on the property when they began hearing movement behind the walls.
They carefully opened up the wall, a raccoon emerged from the cavity, appearing confused but not aggressive. The animal was safely guided out of the property.
He explains this is the first time he found a raccoon in a wall.
He said: “I thought at first maybe it was a trapped cat for some reason and yes it is the first time.
"Have found something in the walls that was alive and not dead, LOL.”
Todd said: “We were renovating a flip house and heard noises coming in the walls and the rest is history.”
The unusual rescue sparked mixed reactions online.
One viewer commented: “Lol give him a minute, bro just had an experience.”
Another wrote: “He literally about to go back in the hole, he made in that house lol.”
Others added: “I’d be checking for baby’s and to also make sure that wasn’t someone’s pet.”
And one joked: “He was literally apologising on his way out be nice.”
