## Resource

Meet Jimothy, the viral Seattle raccoon with a rare condition called short spine syndrome that’s making him a global internet sensation.

Experts believe his vertebrae fused too early, but Jimothy’s resilience and charm have captured hearts worldwide, proving how a little critter can unite a planet.
