Chupacabra caught on video!
Mythical goat sucker or souped-up coyote? You decide.

Dog.

Really. Ugly. Dog. Still, awesome! But the lack of bat wings and horns definitely takes it out of chupacabra territory.

Unless the horns and wings come out when it's angered.

I like how excited the officers are about it.

Assuming the deputy had at least his sidearm in the car, I'm surprised that this chupacabra isn't stuffed and smiling from a wall mount over the chief's desk.

That sounds likely --- at least, that's when mine come out.

What?

Looks more like hyena than a coyote.

I admit, the quick view of the profile showed a head that looked too big for the rest of it. Probably some sort of cross bred something.

Elsa, do you get the blazing eyes as well? 'Cause I do.

Wild dog or coyote, hairless perhaps due to mange. In the UK foxes are susceptible to dog mange, so maybe it's the same with this critter.

Now is the time for monsters.
