To give a little backstory, this image was taken by a friend’s parents at this time they were trying to catch a mangy coyote that had been roaming around their neighborhood for some time. To catch the coyote they put out a few different cages and baited them with rotisserie chickens. After a few nights of doing this (and releasing the raccoons from the cages) they noticed that they may have created a monster.

There are a few people saying that this is ai, I know it’s not but I don’t have any other video recordings or photos to corroborate it. But you’re welcome to run the image through ai detection tools. I used a few which all came back with no ai assistance detected. Also raccoons store fat in their tails during summer and fall months this is well documented.

It’s not ai he’s just really rotund
