A Texas resident claims to have killed a strange canine near Blanco, Texas. Some are calling the animal a Chupacabra. CNN broke the news earlier today of the find, reporting that a taxidermy student inadvertently killed the animal by placing poison in his cousin’s barn. Apparently there had been problems with what was thought to be a rodent getting into the barn and destroying things inside. Instead of finding a poisoned rat, the student found the canine’s body.
Not too long ago another Texas resident shot and killed a strange canine, claiming it was proof of the existence of el Chupacabra. The conclusion by scientists was the dead animal was a coyote or wild dog with a skin condition. Others in Texas have reported either activity attributed to the legendary Chupacabra or actual sightings of the animal.
Jerry Ayer, who owns the Blanco Taxidermy School, has frozen the carcass his student found. He says the animal has unusually long front legs not found on a regular coyote. Ayers says he cannot throw the carcass away, but instead plans to stuff it and then donate it to a local museum, calling it “a tremendous conversation piece.”
El Chupacabra has been sighted as far away as Russia. Original reports of the animal came from the island of Puerto Rico, but quickly spread to Mexico and the Southwestern United States. The animal has been blamed for the killing of livestock, draining the blood from their bodies. Attempts to locate a live Chupacabra have come up short. A whole field of theories on where the animal comes from and why it has not been captured exist, including that the beast is actually from an alien planet.
The name Chupacabra means “goat sucker” in Spanish. The animal was given this name by a journalist in Puerto Rico covering early reports, and the name stuck.
