Jayme Blaschke has already posted part of this story, but I can't resist. Cool chupacabra photo at link.
Has a mythical beast turned up in Texas? - Yahoo! News: "CUERO, Texas - Phylis Canion lived in Africa for four years. She's been a hunter all her life and has the mounted heads of a zebra and other exotic animals in her house to prove it.
But the roadkill she found last month outside her ranch was a new one even for her, worth putting in a freezer hidden from curious onlookers: Canion believes she may have the head of the mythical, bloodsucking chupacabra.
'It is one ugly creature,' Canion said, holding the head of the mammal, which has big ears, large fanged teeth and grayish-blue, mostly hairless skin.
Canion and some of her neighbors discovered the 40-pound bodies of three of the animals over four days in July outside her ranch in Cuero, 80 miles southeast of San Antonio. Canion said she saved the head of the one she found so she can get to get to the bottom of its ancestry through DNA testing and then mount it for posterity."

It doesn't look like a chupacabra to me. It looks like a cross between a yeti, a UFO, a vampire, a werewolf, the Tooth Fairy, a ghost, an elf, and a time traveller. And another thing: even if it is a chupalupa, how will we know? We don't have any other kookookachoos to compare it to. It could be a Martian gorpnon for all we know. That's the problem with mythical creatures; even when you get one in your hands you don't know if you actually have one in your hands. Damn!!
If I'm not mistaken I think a similar creature was discovered as road-kill in Turner Maine a year ago. I remember seeing the pictures then on the internet and when I saw this picture I thought it was a repeat. No one knew then what they had discovered. I wonder if it has anything to do with the pesticides, tanning factories and lumber companies in the area there... creating a "new breed"!
