The evolution of the Chupacabra

[Sandy Eggo]

Lester, I hope it was okay to start a topic here. Since it relates to Chupacabras, I thought you may not mind.

Flesh-and-blood chupacabras have allegedly been found as recently as June—making the monsters eminently more accessible for study than, say, the Loch Ness monster or Bigfoot. (See "Bigfoot Hoax: 'Body' Is Rubber Suit.")

In almost all these cases, the monsters have turned out to be coyotes suffering from very severe cases of mange, a painful, potentially fatal skin disease that can cause the animals' hair to fall out and skin to shrivel, among other symptoms. (Related: "'Balding' Bears: Mangy Mystery in Florida.")

For some scientists, this explanation for supposed chupacabras is sufficient. "I don't think we need to look any further or to think that there's yet some other explanation for these observations," said Barry OConnor, a University of Michigan entomologist who has studied Sarcoptes scabiei, the parasite that causes mange.

Likewise, wildlife-disease specialist Kevin Keel has seen images of an alleged chupacabra corpse and clearly recognized it as a coyote, but said he could imagine how others might not.

"It still looks like a coyote, just a really sorry excuse for a coyote," said Keel, of the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study at the University of Georgia.

"I wouldn't think it's a chupacabras if I saw it in the woods, but then I've been looking at coyotes and foxes with mange for a while. A layperson, however, might be confused as to its identity."

So, this guy is claiming that a Chupacabra is a coyote w/scabies.

They must think we're all complete idiots!  This is obviously part of a Chupacabra-lover plot to lull us into a false sense of security!

Quite all right Miss Sandy, this is a very important subject. Yes, the Government is trying to keep the public from succumbing to mass panic by suppressing the truth as usual. They think everyone is naive and ignorant enough to believe their week lies about a hairless coyote. I am posting a handy chupacabra reference card, created and certified by the PPMC resident chupacabra expert Randy Stevens, that the readers can print out and keep with them at all times in order to properly identify this horrible menace.

Chupacabra Reference Card

There are a number of conflicting characteristics between the coyote and the chupacabra. Note that the Chupacabra is a bipedal creature, show me a coyote that walks on two feet.A true chupacabra has hollow needles filled with toxic poison that protrude out its back along the spine. But this article is an excellent example of a government cover up.

My own personal research into this beast leads me to believe it may in reality be a cross between a once thought to be extinct animal and another mammal that I have yet to determine the species of.

Take a look at the above picture. This is a real animal.

The picture below is a forward view of the same animal, that shows its gaping jaws!



And lest you think this is made up, here is actual footage of these beasts in captivity just before their supposed extinction.

Palehorse, we must keep in mind that the chupacabra is a biped that walks on its rear feet. This does not discount your extensive research because this characteristic could be simply explained either due to the evolution of this feared creature or possibly because the chupacabra is part primate, whether it be a baboon, monkey or ape we cannot say at this time. I am pleased that you have taken interest in researching this blood sucking species and look forward to your valuable input. Together I have little doubt that we can help save humanity from this evil predator by eradication or, preferably, a potent and effective repellent that we can sell to the populace and make a small profit to fund further research efforts.
