Chupacabra - myth or reality - ugly coyote or blood sucking beast? Phylis Canion in Cuero Tx. believes she may have the head of a bloodsucking chupacabra, and has placed the head of the roadkilled mammal she found in her freezer. “It is one ugly creature,” Phylis Canion said, holding the head of the mammal, which has big ears, large fanged teeth and grayish-blue, mostly hairless skin.
Canion and some of her neighbors discovered the 40-pound bodies of three of the animals over four days in July outside her ranch in Cuero, 80 miles southeast of San Antonio. 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.
Some people simply think that the Chupacabra is a mangy dog, or maybe a strange breed of dog or even a cross breed between a mutated dog and a wolf that lets its kill bleed out before it licks it up.

And now, she’s selling T-shirts. Its a town of 6,000 people. I guess they need something to make it exciting.
For those who need video proof, here is a YouTube report of one from Coleman Texas in 2005…can you say ugly?
More pictures and informative stuff found here. Maybe that should be Coyote Ugly.
Posterity or not…myth or not…its pretty darn close.
There’s also a report from North Texas of a giant spider web enveloping a Texas Park.
Entomologists are debating the origin and rarity of a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail in a North Texas park……As creepy as it is, it’s not the work of one giant spider, but a community of thousands. No one knows exactly why the spiders joined forces, but it’s a surprising level of cooperation among the eight-legged engineers that has even insect experts scratching their heads…
I have seen some strange stuff since moving to the “Republic.” Yesterday, just inside the gates of my community, there were five turkey vultures gnawing and pecking at the road kill carcas of a “possum” until all that was remained was the furry outside, left for the flies that swarmed all around. A couple of years ago, while house hunting, I saw one of them varmints was quietly and methodically disembowling at an unlucky squirrel on some guy’s lawn (who then, to the amusement of his kids and wife, had to somehow get the squirrel carcas into a garbage bag…the guy was obviously a college professor or engineer by the way he reacted to his homeowner’s chore of cleaning up after the vulture.).

BTW, those damn turkey vultures picked the possum clean down to the fur.
It’s a coyote with mange:

Saw that on the BoobTube last night. Makes for fun chit-chat. All local stuff like this is the color of the community. Don’t you have a “Bigfoot” in your woods?

Jojo Canobida,a resident of Sitio Paon of Dumolog, said that it was early in the morning of Jan 11,2008 when he saw a dog-like animal attacking his chicken.The animal fled when it saw him.Or so he claimed.

In September last year,two goats in Barangay Lawaan,also this city,were also allegedly attacked by similaranimals.
The goats owner,Engineer Joel Jumbas of Capiz provinicial engineering office,said he could not ascertain who killed his goats but he said he was toldhim that it might have been a chupacabra because of manner of killing.
