What is Jimothy?

Jimothy is a nickname of a Seattle raccoon that has reached viral status after being noticed by locals as having a deformity. As mentioned in a Reddit post on /r/OutOfTheLoop, winsluc12 explains:

Answer: Jimothy is a Raccoon from Seattle with a spinal deformity that was dubbed... Jimothy... Because, and I quote, "He looked like a Jimothy".

He went Viral because he's a weird-looking little goblin-creature that's still cute.

Here's some footage of Jimothy in person. For comparison.

It's really that simple, I think.
