–Another Chupacabra video has recently surfaced, this one supposedly made by a sheriff’s deputy.  Most of the alleged Chupacabra videos and pictures viewable so far on the internet are either so out of focus as to be anything, or they are laughable fakes.  Something may yet come of the roadkill specimen preserved in a freezer in Cuero, Texas.  I saw a brief snippet of the video on the news in which I only saw the life form from the rear as it retreated; definitely a canid.  Some say that the creature is a gray fox with a bad case of mange, or a strange coyote…

…if the “strange coyote” is equipped with an assortment of Acme products, we’ll probably be seeing more of him… 😉

–In 1995 a creature called “El Chupacabra” (Spanish for The Goatsucker) was reported to have drained the blood of hundreds of farm animals in Puerto Rico.  The animals attack had their blood completely drained, but their flesh was not eaten!  The beast was described as being a gargoyle-like animal who had walked on his hind legs.  More recent sightings of Chupacabra in Texas have reported a vicious canine-like creature that walked on four legs.

An episode of MonsterQuest covered the discrepancies in these reports, plus a variety of possible explanations such as Chupacabra was a wild dog or hybrid with mange!  Experts kinda discounted this lame explanation.  Several corpses have been produced, most of which are canid-like but with teeth and skin unlike your garden-variety fido.  The jury’s still out on this one…Draw blood!
