<div><p>Do you remember that old Tom Hanks movie about a guy who lives in an airport terminal? It was based on a true story, but what just happened at the Lester B Pearson Airport in Toronto might be an even weirder story than a Hollywood studio could cook up.</p><p>While waiting for flights, passengers at Canada's largest airport noticed something peculiar in the rafters of the terminal. They looked up and were met by a pair of beady black eyes. A raccoon has apparently decided to make the international airport his home.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/airport-raccoon.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/airport-raccoon_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="Raccoon" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>CityNews</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>Cameron Graham was waiting for his wife to arrive from a business trip when he spotted the rascal popping his head out to take a look at the arriving passengers.</p><p>"There he was, having a good gander at everyone," he told the Toronto Star.</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>He posted a video online and it quickly spread across the internet.</p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="860818547806785536"></amp-twitter></div><p>The airport should be pleased with its visitor, since he seemed to be taking people's minds off of the <a href="https://www.shared.com/american-airlines-flight-attendant-fired-after-his-shocking-actions-towards-woman/" target="_blank">stresses of traveling</a>.
