Mythical El Chupacabra finally captured? | abc7.com

Anyone know what this creature is? I hope Graciegirl does not choose to draw this one. Some kind of mutant dog?

Looks like that *&%$# dog that was seen drinking out of the water fountain at the mail station!

It looks like a separate species to me.

Looks like a mutant wallaby.

Watched the video and looks like a DNA test is in order. Not necessarily for the critter, though.

It looked like it was holding food in its front paw. No canine species can do that.

Did anyone notice that the article and video was listed under the "Entertainment" heading? That should tell us something!

Yes, the animal probably does have mange and that's why it had no hair to speak of.

Anyway, don't lose sight of the fact that this all took place in the anals of some part of remote Texas. The woman's hairdo speaks of where they live and their lifestyle and I couldn't understand the man's accent when he spoke, at all!

Hopefully, a wildlife organization has taken the poor beast somewhere where it will be medically taken care of or re-homed in a forest somewhere.

I'm confused??? The woman's hairstyle and the man's accent speak of where they live and their lifestyle. Surely you didn't intend to be insulting?

In response to your query, the answer is "no."

I guess you didn't think Chi-Town's comment was insulting, right?

Is this what dogs would revert to after years and years of being feral?
