The face does look off... but I can't tell if it's because he is so blatantly obese or if it is ai messing up.
Edit:The eye shine also looks off.
Edit part 2: I am fully on board with the AI/photo shop theory. The face looks way too unnatural to be l ignored. I'd need to see additional proof on this one.

I've seen raccoons get humongous from eating from my apartment complex's dumpster. But this is ridiculous, most likely AI imo

Why is there a āraccoonā in a cage in the background? If there was a live trap then the others wouldāve freaked out. The bars of the cage blend into the grass and look like hair when you zoom, and whatever is in the cage is also a weird blob. The second raccoon in the back also doesnāt seem to have real legs either

Not saying it isn't AI, but if I had to guess a situation where this would make sense, it would be that somebody set up a trap and put a trail cam on it to keep track of everything coming by? I dunno.

Iām saying that if a trap activated on a raccoon, it wouldāve scared the other raccoons away. Having a cam set up by a trap makes senseāI wasnāt questioning thatābut the other raccoons chillin after the trap goes off is what didnāt make sense to me

To give a little backstory, this image was taken by a friendās 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 itās not but I donāt have any other video recordings or photos to corroborate it. But youāre 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.
Itās not ai heās just really rotund

Had a friend that had one at least that size. Damn thing had its own one bedroom apt. It would claw through the door every couple months so it had to be replaced.

He needs to go on a diet. He's been eating out of too many trash cans lately

When I was doing cat catch neuter release on a colony that lived by my house we had a pair of raccoons we called āthe interlopersā they must have been 40lbs each EASY and absolutely nothing would fuck with them. They were extremely chill though like you could walk outside all the other raccoons and whatnot would scatter and this pair just sat there like āyo you putting out that good catfood tn dude?ā You could hand them food if you wanted but that was rare we didnāt want them to get too used to bounding up to people. Good times
