CUERO, Texas - Phylis Canion lived in Africa for four years. She’s been a hunter all her life and has the mounted heads of a zebra and other exotic animals in her house to prove it. But the roadkill she found last month outside her ranch was a new one even for her, worth putting in a freezer hidden from curious onlookers: Canion believes she may have the head of the mythical, bloodsucking chupacabra. “It is one ugly creature,” Canion said, holding the head of the mammal, which has big ears, large fanged teeth and grayish-blue, mostly hairless skin. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20539085/OMG what an ugly critter. Glad they are in Texas. I don't think I want to see one up this way. Click the link to see the picture of this varmit. |

 lol, yeah they had a whole page from the contest and that was a bunch of ugly dogs. ahaha Looks like one of those hairless breeds. Maybe they are breeding in the wild. Dang, I didn't think any of you folks even heard of a chupacabra. From what I have heard of those, I really don't think its one of those.

Might have been the chicken killer, but it is still just a really ugly dead dog.

One common description of Chupacabra is that it looks like a Mexican Hairless, a breed of dog that is from central America and common to the area that the Chupacabra is said to roam. The Chupacabra appears to have leathery, scaly, or reptile like greenish-gray skin, and sharp spines or quills running down its back.[9] This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature hopped 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue protruding from it, large fangs, and to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave a sulfuric stench behind. When it screeches, some reports note that the chupacabra's eyes glow an unusual red, then give the witnesses nausea. For some witnesses, it was seen with bat-like wings.[10] Another description of Chupacabra, although not as common, is described as a strange breed of wild dog. This form is mostly hairless, has a pronounced spinal ridge, unusually pronounced eye sockets, fangs, and claws. It is claimed that the animal may be a cross of three different animals, for example, canine, rodent and lizard. The corpse of an animal found in Leon, Nicaragua, and forensically analyzed at UNAN-Leon is claimed as a specimen of this genus. Pathologists at the University found that it was an unusual looking dog-like creature of unknown species.[11] Unlike conventional predators, the chupacabra is said to drain all of the animal's blood (and sometimes organs) through a single hole or two holes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra |
