What's up with Jimothy?

It's a weird raccoon, but when did people first notice him and where did they start posting about him?

What you're saying that I can just decide to do things? That's a completely unhinged stance. I don't know if I believe you!!!

Jimothy (born c. 2025) is a wild raccoon living in Seattle, Washington, United States. His unusual short, rounded shape, likely the result of a spinal deformity, led to him becoming a viral internet sensation in July 2026.

He's already a 3D print...

He will be on Joe Rogan next month.

A raccoon with a birth defect. Amazing that it's mother took care of it despite the disability. Jimothy is a happy healthy wild animal.
