A raccoon greeted some recently landed visitors at a Toronto airport Saturday… and a new viral sensation was born.
“At Toronto Pearson Airport, we spotted this little fellow checking to see who had come off the flight from Edmonton,” Cameron Graham posted on Twitter Saturday, along with accompanying video.

The footage showed a furry little raccoon head pop out of a missing pane in the ceiling, with every human around immediately pulling out a cell phone to capture the blessed moment.
And Twitter was just as charmed upon seeing the video.
“My kind of welcome!” said one adoring fan. “They wear a lovely striped uniform, too!”
And yes, there were Rocket Raccoon of “Guardians of the Galaxy” fame jokes aplenty. But at least some people were concerned in a real-world fashion.
“Poor guy must be starving up there doesn’t know his way out I hope they help him,” said one user.
See the adorable little guy (above) and all the reactions from his new fans (below).
"Welcome to Canada. Welcome to Canada. Welcome to Canada. The beaver? He has day shift. Welcome to Canada, lovely bag. Welcome to Canada."
