In case you’ve been away from the internet for a few days, a new celebrity animal has been propelled into the spotlight.
We’re talking of course about Jimothy, the viral Seattle raccoon whose unusual shape — which professors have speculated may be a result of congenital spine deformity — has caused footage and photos of him to be shared far and wide.
On Tuesday, Threads users noticed that Jimothy’s fame has now been acknowledged by the search engine gods — namely, he has his own Google animation.
Behold, this is what happens if you type “Jimothy” into Google on smartphone or desktop:
Once he’s scampered across the screen, a button pops up allowing you to replay the animation or share it.
What would Jimothy think if he knew that the human race is now paying homage to him with fan art?
