RUNAWAY BAY, TX – A man in Texas found what he believes to be a chupacabra on a golf course!
Tony Potter was on the Runaway Bay golf course when he noticed something lying near hole 14. Upon closer inspection, it was a dead, unknown creature!
It is a brown, hairless animal with inch-long toes, curved claws, long hind legs and oversize canine teeth.
“This is a weird little critter,” Potter said. “This is not a coyote. This is not a dog.”
It has none of the accompanying lesions that occur with mange, the usual explanation for debunking chupacabra findings. Unsure of what it was, he took it to a veterinarian, who also was unable to identify it.
Chupacabra sightings generally occur in the States in Texas. Potter believes this specimen is a juvenile male.

I'm going to go out on a limb (no pun intended) and call it a hairless raccoon.

That would be a hairless raccoon. The only animals with feet like that are raccoons and opossums… skull structure and ears are very different on a opossum, so that leaves raccoon. If you google image hairless raccoon, there is a live critter that looks almost identical… slightly different color. Cool Find!

Poor thing -the back nine killed him.
CHUPACABRA!!! its gotta be, my friend said that she saw a live one once, and her dad said that it was a chupacabra.
Dude! You think if I dropped my grandmothers Chihuahua off in Texas that it will turn into that?
A dog mated with a rat…
wondering wat it is
It looks like a mutant Chihuahua to me.
a dog had a rat had a raccoon had a baby
Hey guys; I'm not from America but I guess that is "chupacabra", an animal that lives only in America.
maybe it's a skunk? ever think bout that!
