Need a Chupacabra? Seems We Have Plenty!

According to Mexican folklore, a chupacabra is a "goat sucker". It's an animal much like a wolf or coyote that's known to attack not just goats, but young calves and horses, chickens, sheep... anything.

But the creatures have been considered to be mythical beasts, mainly because no actual chupacabras have been found or caught.

Supposedly...

A couple of years ago a chupacabra was "found", and the body sent to UT for DNA analysis. It was determined to be part coyote, and again the chupacabra myth was "debunked".

Now, a few DAYS ago, this grayish creature (3rd photo) was killed near Victoria where I live.

Soon after, the following newspaper article was released.

It seems the chupacabra is either becoming more prolific, or the development of new subdivisions and businesses are encroaching upon the creature's natural habitat, forcing the animal to venture forth and be discovered.

Or maybe not...
