Unusual-Looking Raccoon Takes Over Internet, Google Search & Art World
Jimothy inspired many 2D and 3D artists.
By now, you've probably heard of Jimothy and seen his short body on YouTube or TikTok – after all, he even has a Wiki page now. If not, check out the video below, and you'll see why he's become an internet sensation.
Jimothy is a wild raccoon from the US whose strange appearance is most likely a result of short spine syndrome: it looks like his middle part was removed in a photo editor.
Kiana Hall, who shot the video that went viral, named the raccoon Jimothy because "he looked like a Jimothy." Fair enough.
The adorable creature has won millions of hearts, and even secured a special animation on Google if you search for his name. Moreover, artists from all sorts of fields have been inspired to draw, paint, and sculpt him, so here's a collection of fun recreations to make your day a bit brighter.
There is a whole r/JimothyTheRaccoon subreddit with all kinds of creations, even cookies!
