breed of wild dog sightings..strange!

hawk · 08-13-2008, 02:52 PM

A recent sighting of this creature has been seen in Texas. They said that is the size of a coyote, but it resembles a donkey

and sucks on goats blood, and it leaves fang marks in the neck of the goat. Most commonly found in Latin America all the way up to Maine!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra [information about it]

http://www.local10.com/news/17168183/detail.html [news reporting it ]

http://www.local10.com/video/17166768/index.html [video of this creature!]

If you live in Texas, keep a close eye on your goats - It may not be the coyote you've been always thinking thats killing the goats, it could be this creature!

thumpersgirl · 08-13-2008, 03:03 PM

Oh yep, the chubacabra. Someone posted about this creature last year. That was the first I had heard of it.

pippy · 08-13-2008, 03:07 PM

LOL....my co worker was telling a few of us about this sighting..he said- you guys and your darn chupacabra ought to like this headline

...for several years we've always referred to the riff raff around here as Chupacabra- started by one coworker and carried on by many...and here we thought the one guy just made a word up LOL so I went online to find this story and could n't find it..I thought HE was making it up LOL
Thanks for sharing! I will pass it on.

**Orchid** · 08-13-2008, 03:57 PM

Oh, yeah, I'm scared to death.

breburtch · 08-13-2008, 04:04 PM

Hmmm in my opinion its just like those hairless dogs and cats and any other mutant creatures that have been developed as a fluke and often from inbreeding etc.

So I think thats all this is is a screw up in nature and possibly when one like this happens and survives they join up and mate with the other ones like themselves and have created a new breed of wild dog

If you google it in images pics show them and they look like a naked deformed dog there actually are breeds of dogs out there that have the same type of head just can't think of the name of them

Crookedblaze · 08-13-2008, 04:08 PM

I just saw a Monsterquest on the History Channel about this. It was interesting, but they didn't find anything.

It does make your mind wander, though.

Ah, yes, the dreaded 'chupacabra'... what mothers in Mexico use to scare their kids with if they're not good... Pretty much the equivalent to the common American 'bogey-man', which, of course, is migratory - found in the woods of western New York in the summer, and moving south to the Florida Keys in the winter...

JoesLove · 08-13-2008, 05:38 PM

Wow I havent heard of this in years..didnt know people still believed or were still talking about it. Im 18 now, and about 10 years ago or more my dad would try to scare me with the chupacabra stories..seems so long ago.

arabiancowgirl · 08-13-2008, 07:30 PM

Yeah, and just yesterday I saw the Abomitable Snowman

BabyMay · 08-13-2008, 08:50 PM

I just saw something on Yahoo about this, but I didn't click on the story. So, is it true or not?

Really? Kinda warm for him ain't it?

I saw Big Foot last week. LOL.

BabyMay, I would say the whole thing is just a folk lore, but that's me.

merleliz · 08-13-2008, 09:27 PM

Ummmm, I think Mulder and Scully did an XFiles episode on it once.

No, it's not true. It's just another urban myth that gets revived from time to time - fun to talk about at slumber parties, but that's about it.

*snort*

Good one!

If I had to guess, I would say the whole thing got started when someone saw a feral dog or coyote with a really severe case of mange. They are pretty scary looking, poor things.

HighHorse · 08-14-2008, 09:28 PM

Oh, geez.

That video was amusing. It looked like a coyote with mange. Bleck!

hawk · 08-14-2008, 11:43 PM

guess you can tell im a "sucker"

for these types of "myths"

**Promise Ranch** · 08-15-2008, 07:51 AM

I just saw an episode of Monster quest on this particular animal...

Weird, indeed, but not the Chupacabra from the stories of old... That one walked on it's hind feet and was as big as a man...

This looks like a strange dog-like animal... They compared the skeletal remains, teeth, dna'd it, and everything. Said it's not a coyote... They don't know what it is, or where it came from...

**Diamond_Y** · 08-15-2008, 08:20 AM

Did you hear that someone has found a dead bigfoot Georgia?

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.p...w&pageId=72299

DNA results will be interesting.

blueberry · 08-15-2008, 08:30 AM

I read that the Georgia bigfoot is another hoax that involves a known bigfoot hoaxer named Biscardi. I think the whole cryptozoology area is very interesting and I would love to see proof of these animals, but as of yet, nothing. Any of you guys watch Momster Quest on the history channel?? My kids love it, even though at the end of most shows they have no scientific proof of anything and their "monster" cams dont' show much.
