Daily News | Raccoons spotted in Philadelphia Airport
If you’re heading to baggage claim reclaiming your luggage might not be your only concern at Philadelphia International Airport. Some passengers had to confront a different type of bandit at baggage claim — a raccoon.
A raccoon entered the baggage claim at PHL through a baggage shoot on Tuesday evening according to Heather Redfern, spokesperson for the airport. Redfern said the airport is “surrounded by fields and the Heinz refuge, and has numerous areas where the animals can gain entry from the airfield to underground areas.”
Redfern said when animal sightings occur, like the raccoon video, they work with the USDA, who will set humane traps and release the raccoons.Redfern said the raccoon has not been trapped, but could have left the airport on its own.
