A creature described as having 'the face of a raccoon, but a stocky body, a rounded back, and long legsโa completely unfamiliar sight'โwas first photographed in Seattle's Ballard district. The photographer named the raccoon 'Jimothy,' and the video posted to Instagram was viewed over 5 million times in just a few hours. Experts say Jimothy may have an extremely short neck due to a congenital spinal malformation, but aside from his appearance, he appears normal and is believed to be living a healthy life. Due to Jimothy's explosive popularity, Google has even implemented a dedicated UI for searching for him.

These works are fan art, consisting of short movies and illustrations, but game fans and modders have also implemented Jimothy as an actual game character. Below is 'JIMOTHY SEATTLE'S FINEST RACCOON,' a browser game featuring Jimothy created by artist and entrepreneur Chris Pirilho, which can be played for free in your browser. After clearing the three modes: the side-scrolling action 'TRASH,' 'STREET' where you avoid cars to reach the other side of the road, and 'PAPARAZZI' where you avoid the eyes of people looking for Jimothy, the fourth mode, 'CLIMB,' will be unlocked. Clearing 'CLIMB' completes the game.
