Me when Moo Deng was popping off
In my defense I was a big fan of pygmy hippos before so I had seen my share of cute pygmy hippo photos before.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

It's always interesting to see how what kinds of things go viral change with the times. The recent trend of cute or weird animals becoming internet-wide mascot sensations for a while before moving on to the next one says something about our current cultural moment, but I'm not sure what exactly.
So sorry that a literal miracle of nature wasn't enough to entertain you for 10 seconds.
(I don't blame you. You're allowed to like what you like and to not like what you don't like.)
Scientists commenting on Jimothy have said before that there's nothing in his condition that presents a setback in survival.
Lots of food available where Jimothy lives, but hard to see how he isn't at a disadvantage with the coyotes in the area.
Raccoons, especially in Seattle, are not typical prey for coyotes.
Coyotes don't really have typical prey,
It's not that they're atypical prey for coyote, it's that Coyotes are atypical in urban areas. It's not impossible for one to get him, not impossible for one to be in the city, just not a typical situation.
There are rooftop packs of coyotes in Ballard.
He does "being a mini-raccoon", and he does it better than anyone!
Are you not entertained???!!!
Would've been cool to hear that quote in the Odyssey.
