RUNAWAY BAY CHUPACABRA


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!

    Hey guys; I'm not from America but I guess that is "chupacabra", an animal that lives only in America.
