Agreed. I’ve seen coyotes that had very little hair. The comment about the nails was ridiculous. That’s a coyote.

Nick, this is one more reason why we in Maine will be eternally grateful to Mississippi,the state that traditionally kept us from being the poorest state in the Union! Now, the selfless citizens of that great state are defending us from ravenous, chicken-stealing, goat sucking Chupacabras!
We were so moved by this event that we are currently raising funds to equip every Chupacabra in Mississippi with a warm coat for the winter. We also plan to indemnify every illegal Mexican in Mississippi who has lost a hairless pet to evidently well-meaning, but inadvertently tragic species mis-identification.
I am also sure that when this Syrian thing is resolved, those chemical weapons will be used by Obama and Reggie to meet the challenge of this bio-threat.

Mangy dog killed in Mississippi.
That's the first thing that occurred to me. Poor dog, now a national story...

Here’s a little info on the Texas animal from an article posted on 9-1-13
http://bionews-tx.com/news/2013/09/01/texas-state-university-researcher-helps-unravel-mystery-of-texas-blue-dog-claimed-to-be-chupacabra/
snip
However, quickly it became clear that the animal was not a dog when a genetic marker identified
it as a coyote. Forstner notes, “We got the sequences back, uniquely within coyote there’s
an area of the D-loop, which is the area of mitochondrial DNA… it gives us data on things that
are closely related… Uniquely in coyotes there’s a deletion of several bases in one section, and
another deletion in another area of an additional seven-base block. Turns out that the
sequences that came back had those two unique deletions, and did not match any dogs or wolf.
It came back with 97 percent confidence that it was Canis latrans, which is the coyote.”
Canion was not happy with the results,
so she commissioned a second DNA test at a genetics lab st the University of California at Davis.
Essentially, the new test confirmed the findings from the University of Texas.
However, with a slight twist: Canion’s animal turned out to be a hybrid.

It was strange and inaccurate. The author should visit my house and try to cut my dogs’ nails. Good luck with that.

Glad it wasn’t a real chupracabra. All the chupracabra stories I heard they could fly. The legend still lives:)
