Blanco Man Thinks He Has
Chupacabra
Beast Found North Of San Antonio
KSAT TV NEWS 12 |
There's a lot of buzz north of San
Antonio in the city of Blanco where the body of
what's being called the legendary chupacabra has
turned up.
It's
the latest in a number of sightings and captures of
the strange animals bearing similar resemblance.
“Different,
that’s for sure, very interesting,” said
Blanco taxidermist Jerry Ayer with Blanco Taxidermy
School.
Ayer
is preserving the frozen carcass that was found by
one of his former students in Rosenberg, Texas,
located about 40 miles southwest of Houston. The
animal looks gray with leathery skin, unlike anything
that is native to Texas. (More.)

Could the fabled
Chupacabra have been sighted in Nuevo Laredo?
Yes, according to
a Laredo family who says a camera on their ranch
caught a clear picture of the creature. But could the
sighting be exactly what the family claims it to be?
“I was trying
to figure it out it was something.”
“I told my
daughter we're never gonna stay at the ranch when its
dark.” (Click for more.)

ANIMAL IDENTIFIED
A Not-So-Wiley Coyote
Cuero 'Chupacabra' Craze Is Over
NEWS 4 |
The results are in: The ugly, big-eared
animal found this summer in Cuero is not the mythical
bloodsucking chupacabra. It's just a plain old
coyote.
Biologists
at Texas State University announced Thursday night
that they had identified the hairless doglike
creature.
San
Antonio television station KENS provided a tissue
sample from the animal for testing.
"The
DNA sequence is a virtually identical match to DNA
from the coyote (Canis latrans)," bioligist Mike
Forstner said in a written statement. "This is
probably the answer a lot of folks thought might be
the outcome. I, myself, really thought it was a
domestic dog, but the Cuero Chupacabra is a Texas
Coyote." (More.)
