The Chupacabra

[Brian Johnson]

There are many stories about this demon like creature lurking about Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. But what could it really be. I personally think it is a dog or a coyote or something like that. What do you think it is?

Thanks Holly, that was a lot of great info.

What's wrong with Chupacbras?
I order one of those anytime I'm down in Casa De Oro at Saritas Taco Shop.
They are best served with extra sour cream and a side order of rice and beans.
Hot Carrots add to a very delightful Mexican Meal.
The only demon I know is the one that visits me the next morning after eating a chupacabra combo plate.
It has an enduring quality that makes me yearn for ice cream or other diary products.
Even goat cheese.

Try One and see for yourself

I'll pass on the chupacabra combo plate....I'm still recovering from the "Diablo Special".....c'mon ice cream!!

I just found some new info, they have discovered a flesh eating insect that is the cause of the majority of these so called chupacabra attacks.

No one's posted on this thread for a while, so I thought I would add this little tidbit:

http://dailynews.att.net/cgi-bin/news?e=pri&dt=070901&cat=news&st=newsd8rctij00&src=ap#

This woman claims to have found what might be the remains of a Chupacabra that was hit by a car on the road near her home. She threw the body in her freezer so it wouldn't rot anymore. I would like to see the results of a scientific evaluation of the remains to determine exactly what it was. Without that, it's just weird looking roadkill...

You know, I am still of the opinion that the Chupacabra is what Dave turns into on full and fingernail moons.  Hasnt anyone ever noticed the resembelence before??  I mean geeze, it's uncanny!!  here...and if you don't see the resemblence, I'll eat my shorts.

Here's a recent article about the alleged Chupacabra carcass that was found in Texas:

Ya Brian, I read this the other day that it is actually hairless coyotes.  They are running tests to determine why they lost their hair.

They probably lost their hair because they were feeding near one of Texas' famous toxic waste dumps! 

[Brian Johnson]

A lot of people think the reason they lose their hair is because of a severe case of mange.

Is it just me or does that photo look like she has a creepy hand puppet?

If you read my recent post on the Thunderbird thread you will see that I find it odd that creatures can breed well enough to survive millenia, but not well enough that they really run into civilization.  However, that is one of the things I LIKE about the Chupacabra.  Reports of this creature come from all over South America, I mean all over.  In Costa Rica, I saw a sheep that was suppossedly killed by one, at least that is what the villagers said, no clue if it is true or not.

South America has plenty of jungles and places for such a creature to hide and breed.  As their numbers increase or their habitat is destroyed, it's not surprising that reports on them grow and grow.  I really wouldn't be surprised if in the next few years a live or dead "real" Chupacabra is caught.  I suspect it is a lot like a very big and mean ferret or mongoose.

Isn't a chupacabra that thing that hold candles and is placed on a piano?

[Shellshock]

LOL! Close... it's the thing that sucks the blood out of goats that holds candles and is placed on a piano. 

[PPI Tim]

LMAO!

Or
Is it's the thing that sucks the blood out of old goats who played the piano?
