Raccoon with Rare Condition Becomes State Icon | San Antonio News
Description
Meet Jimothy, the raccoon with a rare spinal condition that gives him a round, waddling gait — and now, he’s the official “Washingtonian of the Day” honored by the governor. His viral July video sparked nationwide fascination, leading to murals, bobbleheads, tattoos, and even a declared “Jimothy Summer” in 2026. While fans adore him, wildlife officials remind everyone: keep your distance and don’t feed him — he’s still wild and could bite or scratch if threatened. This little guy, living his life with grace despite his condition, has become an unexpected symbol of joy and wonder across the Pacific Northwest.
