HAVE YOU HEARD OF JIMOTHY AND WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION?
Iβve got a full length video about Jimothy if you search on my blog.
That being said, I wanna take a little more of a philosophical approach here.
Apparently Jimothy was born in 2025, so heβs about a year old. And I got a lot of questions in the comment section of my video on TikTok asking why his mama/siblings didnβt eat him or shun him and leave him to die.
And itβs because that isnβt how raccoons work. Jimothy has survived thus far because raccoon families are built on love and support and knowledge exchange.
People always say βraccoons are solitary creatures.β But they arenβt. Not really. Males use each other to stay warm in the winter (and keep each other entertained.) Females form close bonds with their children. Siblings teach each other new skills and games. In captivity, raccoons make their own family. For example, my own raccoons, Lammy and Moonshine, perfectly mimick the relationship between a daughter that should have left the nest by now, and a fed up mother that still loves her. Raccoons are so successful as a species because their families (blood related or otherwise) lift each other up. They share their knowledge with the ones they love and offer help when needed.
and ACCEPT help when needed.
Wink wink. Nudge nudge.
