| The Chupacabra sightings in Texas and other parts of the country with the dog with the unusual features, long rat-like tail, and hairless body have been explained. On one occasion it was a fox and on another occasion it was a coyote. Both of these poor animals had been infected with a rare form of the mange that causes the hair of the body to fall off and the skin then takes on a leathery appearance. Fortunately these bodies were recovered and veterinary science professionals were able to make an identification and diagnosis.
Besides, the traditional Chupacabra legend involves a flying creature of human-like dimensions that sucks the blood from goats. |
