🦝 They might not quite be Jimothy, but we still love them! This photo of two boys feeding raccoons comes from Okefenokee Swamp Park in Folkston. Raccoons are a common sight throughout Coastal Georgia, but even if they’re this friendly, please don’t feed our local Jimothys! They get all they need from plants, seeds, and even mussels in the marsh around them.
