Episode Details

Meet Jimothy, Seattle’s viral raccoon with a curved back and a heartwarming charm that’s captured millions online. Thanks to his rare short spine syndrome, Jimothy’s compact frame and quirky gait have made him an internet sensation—and now, wildlife experts are wondering if he’s not alone. Old photos and videos hint at other raccoons with similar traits, raising the possibility of a small population of these unique creatures in the city. With wild raccoons rarely living past five years, it’s unlikely the same animal has been around for nearly a decade, but Jimothy’s resilience is nothing short of remarkable. Even Google joined the fun, adding an animated Jimothy to search results—a sweet tribute to this urban legend. Whether Jimothy’s the last of his kind or one of many, his story is a delightful reminder that nature’s magic can bloom right in our backyards.
