Has the mythical blood sucking Chupacabra finally been found?
Reggie Lagow, a farmer in Coleman, Texas decided to set a trap last week, hoping to capture what ever it was chasing and killing his turkeys and chickens... What he found was a creature which is described to be a mix between a rat, a hairless dog, and a kangaroo.... Could this be the mythical Chupacabra?…

i think that the story is true. i just don't belive these people making fun of all these true stories, next thing they know they will be the next victom of the chupacabra. so if your one of those people that don't belive or make fun of people that do belive i hope you watch your back. when i say people that make fun of people i'm talking about people like "#16 chris" if you read it you'll probably be talking bad about her. hey i may only be 11 but i know what i'm talking about.

lol ok well that was an awesome article and true it is a bloodsucking creature,but what i think was that somewhere in a remote area, judging by what Mrs.Largow discripted how it looked like, i think somewhere in a remote area, possibly an animal that was similar to sheep with the fleece, but much older, bred with a pre-canine species and the results were that. P.S. KIDS RULE

well, i believe is true, cause im from puerto rico and ive heard a lot of crazy thinggs over there about the chupacabra. one day my cousins were staying in my parents house and when they went to sleep they heard a noise like a loud growl next to their window and also tried to open up the window. puerto rico has really weird windows, i dont know if anybody ever seen them.
there not like the ones in the u.s. anyways...my cousins and my sister and brother got scared, so they called my dad and he went outside, but didnt see anything it was gone. it was really weird.

I saw the article on the "texas chupacabra" several months ago while surfing the web. I live in Texas and this was the first I had heard of and seen pictures of the animal. My father, son and myself were returning home from vacationing in Oklahoma today (8-5-06}. We were headed south on 271 and had just gotten outside of Clayton, OK when two of the exact animals were crossing the highway in front of us. A vehicle was coming from the opposite direction so the animals turned around and went back to the side of the road and stood there looking at us. I had passed them at this point and turned around. As I was turning around a pickup passed by. I returned to where they were still standing on the side of the road. As I pulled over they went down the steep embankment and crossed a fence into the brush. Their skin was a blue/gray and had very little hair that reminded me of what you would see on a pig. Their skin looked kind of dry but not mangy, there were no sores or weeping on the skin. Their tails were long and they walked kind of stooped with their tails tucked. They were poor and hungry looking.They didn't seem to be very scared but did avoid contact with us. I don't know what kind of dog they were but they are not a coyote, fox, wolf and certainly not a deer or kangaroo as some speculate.

People all over the world untrust the goverment and geez who can blame them but I have to say a person is a rational being, people are not! If a blood sucking or other strange new creature was found roaming the california countryside a new age witch hunt would ensue if the species is dying then how can hunting it and or killing it help them? Although we may not like the lack of official reports on the animal it may be for the best .. and hey maybe one day in the near future more official information may surface about it. I personally believe that the picture is genuine and hopefully we dont judge to harshly that which we do not know.

this animal is more genuinly more schocker .
as I saw it thought I directly that it did something terrible. Now places itself in addition, ask whether it this animal weiklich gives.
but the different indicated which I from the Internet rausgesucht, say all which other one and now point I no more further!
whether you do not ask to answer can remain actually also ask I believe can so really know. In addition the videos are rather ridiculous and one can not really believe it the animal really give. If one can call it animal.
also perhaps but if someone an answer point can it on German me one nachhricht write. e-times I afterwards still communicate those to address. But do not ask is answered actually yet. I have times one would list together placed. In the Internet it is said that he multicolored incite to have is and wings. in addition it should be large 2m (rather improbably or?) and it is to have vampir teeth. that is also again a thing which I believe only with difficulty can. I do not point whether I wrongly lies, but which thinks it?
I hope I wars soon an answer, since the topic interests me.

The chupacabra is no new deal! I'm 33 years old now--I remembered years ago my mother telling us (kids) of a strange animal that matched a similar discription that used to terrorized the farm animals of the poor farmers of the (Pamlico) Sound in northeastern North Carolina from the 1920's through the early 1970's. There were many sightings of these creatures and many of them had frighteningly close encounters! All the folks of the region used to speak of them all the time, but somehow it never reached the headlines.

There seems to be a very common denominator in chupacabra sightings.
The latest one was in January this year (2008), in Cadiz province ... in the Phillipines. Hmm.
The other sightings most often reported are in the southern and south-western United States, especially Texas, and parts of central and southern America ...
The common denominator, apart from the odd sighting in Maine, of all places, is the extensive speaking of Spanish in nearly all of the places it's seen (actually, that COULD apply to Maine).
It's a wonderful piece of hispanic folklore, much like the bunyip in Australia.
Forget the hoppy little chupacabra. The bunyip - now THAT's one scary creature, and there ARE many reported sightings.
The common denominator in bunyip sightings is usually the speaking of a bizarre form of English that can sound like swahili after one too many lagers.

Well, that Outback of yours is quite a size, Stan, and there must be all sorts of strange things wandering around out there (other than Rolf Harris, I mean).
Did you ever see an obscure horror flick called Razorback? It was American-made, I think, but set in Australia and starring good old Bill Kerr of Hancock fame. It was about a giant feral pig munching on the inhabitants of some small town way out in woop-woop. Not even available on DVD, as far as I can find out, but quite good.

Mate, I have been feral-pig shooting on a rural property infested by them, and you really do have to watch out for those buggers.
You are mad to use anything smaller than a .303, which is probably why all the old wartime Lee-Enfields are still doing the rounds here, and even then it might not stop them. A large-gauge semi-automatic shotgun is better, but that's no guarantee either, plus they're now illegal :)
They can (and do) rip your calf off in an instant, and once you are incapacitated, you are stuffed. They WILL go you.
The .303s double for crocodiles and big, nasty kangaroos as well, although crocodiles are as hard to kill as elephants and don't scare easily, unlike me.
I know Americans opposed to kangaroo culling think 'roos are cute ... but, well, I'll just say they can be really aggressive and will rip you to shreds with their hind feet, which have giant claws, in a flash.
Saltwater crocs, of course, or "salties", will just eat you when you are least expecting it. And they're protected too, so if you are dumb enough to get too close to the water it's your problem.
Back to the bunyip: I have seen one during a full moon, but in my defence, it was 3am, and I was walking down a dusty, outback road after a really big night at the pub.
It was very hairy, big, mean-looking, stank from a distance of about 50 yards, seemed to flit around in the shadows going from gum tree to gum tree as it followed me down the road, and had a wicked, evil-looking grin.
I'm certain I saw it though, but a few of the locals reckoned it was just Mad Wal, who lives in a shed on a paddock a mile from the pub and who hasn't shaved or cut his hair in 50 years, is still wearing the same clothes he had on as a teenager when his entire family disappeared in strange circumstances, and who by all accounts, doesn't much like strangers.
They said I was lucky not to have become another unexplained disappearance on that road ... the bunyip (not to be confused with that other outback creature, the Yowie) is said to be a devil that comes to life, so maybe Wal isn't quite who he says he is (or who the locals say he is, because no one under the age of 60 in that town has ever spoken to Wal).
Gives me the shivers just thinking about it.
Chupacabra schmabra. The bunyip's the one to fear, and I hope they never get over to California, but I'm sure one will be sighted there sooner or later.

I believe that although there are alot of unexplained creature sightings (cryptozoology) and some of them are pretty out there, one should not dismiss all of them as imaginations. In some cases the evidence is overwhelming and to laugh in off would be ignorant. For example check out La Bete or the Nandi Bear. Just cause science cant explain it does not make it false!
