The only people who believe in Abracobra are hippies, Big L Libertarians and Keith Olbermann. Apologies to the first two for such an association.

Yes of all the things the chupacabra is a fucking 2 foot dog, that is found all across Southern America, and Africa. Also this obviously is THEE chupcabra and not just some local dog or a group of abandoned dogs. Nothing against you but this shit is ridiculous ...

This sort of toss probably crops up more often than you'd think.

It's not a chupacabra, it's a feral dog. Accept it, for Lord's sake.

It's like the whole 'beast of bodmin' thing in this country too. They think that's what it is, and it just turns out to be a feral dog. Honestly, some people can't just accept the simple truth.

Yeh, they're actually wild Puma's/Jaguars/etc.

That, Z, is called a 'Fact'.

"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"

"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"

God, i hate Americans sometimes. Americans are the sole reason why Bigfoot should never be proven to exist.

On topic - yeh, that just looks like a poorly cared for Dog.

Like normal dogs aren't used to do that.

Most of the time, when I see a picture of the beast, it's some skinny creature with fangs and claws. Creepy stuff, not a dead dog... It's almost like a trend now, people showing dead or dead-ugly dogs around.

As opposed to a feral dog that has retained its domesticated behaviour?

I do like how many people are so adamant that nothing ‘paranormal’ could be out there that they feel ‘it looks like’ as an argument against it, but in this scenario, I have to say I fail to see why these creatures are attracting such interest. It doesn’t look remarkable at all. Sort of looks like roadkill to me… sweet.

He just looks like one of those shaved dogs. Also, it could be a crossbreed.
Maybe a dog and a boar. I don't know why I say that, I just see a bit of boar in it.

Chupacabras are bipedal with glowing eyes, and occasionally wings.

This is not.

That, Z, is called a 'Fact'.
And what do you base that on?

I'm not saying that the possibility is overuled, it just seems odd that, in this day and age, with such expert tracking, very effective animal traps, and so on, that we're incapable of catching such a beast. The fact that, as well as the fact they don't appear to exist, some feral freak dog turns up that seems to be the culprit, then where's the fact? If it's presumably this dog thing, where's the puma? Not anywhere. It's ridiculous that such a large predator could even survive for any reasonable length of time in this country, seldom never being seen, nor any evidence whatsoever of ever being found. There'd be dung or something, and these animals live within certain territories, and don't run off away as soon as we lay a trap.

I'd be more liable to believing such stories if any actual evidence appeared, apart from what a single drunk redneck or bum has to say. I've never seen or heard of any whatsoever, so apart from seeing such a dog or whatever at a distance, I can't think of anything that would make people think there's some 5 foot beast crawling around.

There have been confirmed sightings, as well as hair samples that have been confirmed as coming from large, feline Predators.

More people have probably seen them, but nobody really cares anymore. Once in a Blue moon will they get some massive coverage, but that's soon dismissed and forgotton about as some kid gets himself shot up somewhere.

When you think of some of the massive news stories that are just ignored, it doesn't really seem that impossible that such an animal could live somewhere and not really be talked about on a national scale.

I can't say the Chupacabra would be the only thing attacking the chickens.
There'd be different forms of it, and people have claimed them as the Chupacabra.

When/where was that? I never heard anything.

Even though I think it's fairly safe to say the Chupa doesn't exist. One thing having a real animal in the wrong country, something else entirely with a mythological creature, that somehow the idea was coined, yet no one knows what they really look like (there's about a gazillion different images, isn't there? And ll the different mutant dog finds that are claimed as Chupas).

lol, I thought you said chubacca and I was like wtf.
but seriously not sure, I mean, if they were dogs, you think you'd spot the mother somewhere, I mean, it would have had to have at least a little resembelance to these creatures, I think only several crossbreeds could have created something like that.
never heard of a chucabra before though.

"When/where was that? I never heard anything"

A year or so ago? On the 'Richard and Judy' show. A guy sent in a video of a large Cat sat in an old caravan in his garden, R&J ended up sending some hair samples to some lab and they came back as large and predatory.

...it was before they revealed the existance of Desert Crocodiles and Chimps that are as big as Gorilla's.

Fact.
