Staffers heard a flurry of activity and discovered a raccoon snuggled into a box on top of a bookshelf — one it chose after exploring other offices, officials said on Twitter.

“Keeping things exciting at @cpw_nwregion’s office in Grand Junction [this] morning,” the official tweeted. “After hearing the commotion, area staff found this raccoon curled up in his office. Before finding an office just right to keep him warm and dry this morning, the raccoon had several others. I searched someone’s office.”

Video shows the raccoon doing its best to stay hidden and flattening its ears to show it wasn’t getting down from its nook willingly. A wildlife officer hooked the raccoon with a wildlife catching poleand scooted it right out the front door, where it takes off into the rainy outdoors, the video shows.
