Mimimi, level - god: meet the cutest raccoon in the world! (8 photos)

Forget about puppies and kittens! A raccoon named Uni is the king of tenderness! He has everything a touching pet needs - fluffy fur, sparkling eyes, a leather nose, but most importantly... most importantly - look at his haircut!

A two-year-old pet raccoon named Uni is undoubtedly one of the most adorable creatures in the world!

Uni lives in Taiwan. His owner, 33-year-old Joyce Tai, takes good care of him and even came up with an exclusive haircut for him - with a fluffy dog paw on his back.

Ty shaves Uni once a year, before vaccination. She said raccoons are usually completely shaved before the procedure, but she and Uni's groomer decided to experiment with leaving enough fur on his back for a trim. In addition, the veterinarians told her that when it’s hot, it’s only good for raccoons, and that summer it was just hot.

She says Uni's unusual fur color is called "cinnamon" and he is not an albino. Its feature is scientifically called “leucism” - a condition in which an animal loses part of the pigment that colors its fur and skin.

“Actually, he was pretty scary as a kid,” Tai admits. She bought Uni in 2014 from a friend of hers, choosing him only because he was the only male in a litter of three puppies. In Taiwan, it is legal to keep raccoons as pets.

Tai started a Uni page on Facebook, where more than 4,000 people already follow his life. A photo of Uni with his current hairstyle caused a furor not only on Facebook, but also on Twitter, as well as on the Chinese social network Weibo.

Joyce Tai was the last to learn about the worldwide popularity of her pet. According to her, she did not expect such an effect at all. “I’m an ordinary working person,” she says, “and I just wanted to share Uni’s photos with people to make them happy.”
