Philadelphia airport officials say raccoons visit the airport on occasion as it's surrounded by fields.
Some travelers at Philadelphia International Airport got quite the surprise on Tuesday evening.Video captured the critter scurrying away as travelers remained in shock near "Baggage Claim B/C" around 7:30 p.m."We could see its tail and we're like, 'That is a live animal! What is it?'" recalled Higgins.
"I was expecting a surprise from them when I arrived, but I didn't expect that," Pereira said of the raccoon. "It would be like you would walk down an escalator that was going up," Higgins said of the raccoon's failed attempt to get back down the chute. "The raccoon in the video most likely got lost in one of the baggage tunnels and was attempting to get out. The airport works with the USDA to set humane traps for raccoons," PHL officials said in a statement.Back in 2022, PHL officials say another critter crawled out of a vent in the wall and snagged a package of Twizzlers.
