I remember hearing/seeing a few stories that a few suspected cases of Chupacabras in Central America, turned out to be coyotes with severe mange or unusual genetic defect of the skin/fur or something like that, but I cannot remember the source. That looked a lot like a hairless coyote to me, but I guess that would have been obvious to the docs that examined that thing (unless they were not vets) and they would have said so or whatever.

I think Chupacabra is just some disease, or flies.

It's clearly one of those 'Dire Wallabies' you find in Australian D&D.

They think it's in Australia now?
Don't people know El Chupacabra was debunked years ago?

$100 says some critter with mange Someone is Genre Savvy. I remember seeing a video on youtube of what was clearly a coyote with mange limping along the side of the road, yet most of the idiots commenting on it insisted that "Coyotes don't normally walk that way". No shit, perhaps that has something to do with the fact that it was LIMPING. There's a huge population of coyotes within my city (we've got a lot of protected forest area within municipal limits, such as Fish Creek Park and the paths around the river & reservoir, many of which are not too far from where I live), so I've encountered them often enough to recognize one when I see it. Their legs and tails are a dead giveaway.

That's definitely a canid of some sort, lacking its fur. Although without scale I couldn't tell you if it was a small coyote or a fox. And I also can't say if it's mange or a hairless mutant. edit: After looking at some skeletons, I am leaning toward fox. www.aoshicn.com/UploadProductPic/2009724155143796.jpg With that length of tail compared to the body.

Ah yes, as wallabies are well known for the phlebivorous properties.
