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?

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.

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.

I was so confused about Jimothy because I follow Dr. Glaucomflecken who regularly has a character called Jimothy. He just made a video about both Jimothy's I love it.
