Hm

EDIT

Oh right yeah

Kvue.com wrote:A rancher from the South Texas town of Cuero is telling a chupacabra tale, and she says she has the evidence in her freezer.

Is it a chupacabra or a grey fox? Phylis Canion says the animal had been lurking around her ranch for years.

She said it first snatched cats, then chickens right through a wire cage.

“[It] opened it reached in pulled the chicken head out, sucked all the blood out, left the chicken in the cage,” she said.

Canion says two dozen chickens were sucked dry. The meat, she says, was left on the bone.

Neighbors speculate the blue-colored animal that was doing all that damage was a chupacabra. The name is translated from Spanish and means goat-sucker because the creature sucks the blood of livestock.

Canion says not one, but three chupacabras were spotted outside the town in recent days. All of them, she says, were blue-skinned, had no hair and had strange teeth.

Although Canion and her neighbors feel she captured a chupacabra, others -- like State Mammalogist John Young -- say she captured a grey fox.

“When mange goes untreated it causes this type of reaction. they start to itch, lose all their hair, blue grey coloration. and the animal usually dies from it,” he said.

It wasn’t mange, but a car that killed the creature that Canion captured.

“There have been so many stories for so long. The chupacabra is a mythical thing and maybe it is, but this is something…a cross between something. What? I don’t know, I’d love to find out,” she said.

So, KENS-TV took samples of the creature and sent it off for DNA testing.

Those results are due.

Meanwhile, the creature’s head, which is in Canion’s freezer, will go on her home’s wall.

“This one hands down will draw the most attention. Because they’re gonna say you got zebras, you got this, you got that, what is this thing here? That’s what we call the South Texas taz devil," she said.

That thing gives me the shivers....
It could be a mutation of a dog ore as they say a grey Fox.
Only time will tell.

I would not call this case closed until that DNA test gets back and they can prove that it is not a Silver Fox.

No, silly, Grey Fox isn't the biggest concern. It's be big bipedal tank! Set landmines on its feet, quick!

Looks more like a bald fox or coyote...
Weird...
I don't really believe in things like this, but even if it is just a fox or coyote, what about the claim that the chickens wher sucked dry?
That's what's REALLY weird.

by **Rogue.** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 10:43 pm

What's really weird is believing everything you hear without first looking into it. "Claim" is a good key word

Maybe the woman has a thirst for chicken blood that she failed to mention to the reporter.

Yeah, could just be faking it for attention OR somebody is playing a prank...
Either way it goes, it's a weird story....

Maybe she is a Chupacabra, and this whole thing is meant to throw us off her track!!!

So, that's the Mexican thing that sucks the goats? =p

Seriously, though, I heard a specimen got delivered to a university in Columbia not too long ago, but hadn't heard anything more about it recently. I actually find crypozoology real interesting, when it doesn't slip into the paranormal stuff. Gorillas, giant pandas and okapis were all cryptids at one point.
