FOX NEWS on Wednesday night (08-13-2008 10pm-11pm) showed a video clip from Texas of the "goat sucker" or "Chupracobra" as it is well known by most folks.   But the FOX Video IS NOT the first proof of this in Texas, and the beast actually got it's start in Puerto Rico, which actually depicts it quite a bit differently from the "Texas" or "American" version of the animal.  The Puerto rican animal walks on it's two HIND legs as opposed to the Texas version which runs on all four.

Yes, the creature DOES exist, and YES there is PROOF that it does, the video from FOX, but I also watched a program on either Discovery or the History channel that also gave even more video proof of this creatures existence, two people in Texas have the skeletal remains from them,  one actually scooped it up from roadkill, the other actually shot and killed it on their farm, so yes, they have been videoed prior to the FOX NEWS video.   In the story (not FOX's vid) two guys set out to try and trap a live one for study, unfortunately all they caught was a dumb Armadillo that walked into their trap.

Also the program went into depth of the creature to determine what it is, or where it's roots are from, they did DNA, hair and some other testing, the results came back that the Chupracobra IS OF CANINE ancestry!   The animals have longer than normal fangs both upper and lower.    Also they did rule out any domestic dogs with severe mange or skin condition that caused the hairless-like appearance of the animal as well. 

They just are not sure from which canine linage that it came, or developed from, if it's a hybrid of domestic dog and coyote or even if toxic waste such as radiation or contamination from other chemicals could have generated a "mutant canine type of animal".   And despite what FOX said about not wanting them in Florida, they are IN and ALL over Florida too.  So don't believe for a moment they are only in specific regions.   

These creatures do exist and they are dangerous!  Do not approach one if seen, get away from it and into somewhere safe as quickly as possible, these things have also been known (per the original telling of them) to attack and drain humans of their blood as well.   So if you're not a professional trapper, leave these things to them!

Too me they look sort of like a MUTANT OVERSIZED HAIRLESS CHIUAHAHA (i know that isn't spelled right! LOL).
