Chupacabra discovered!

Really! Look here! You will be a believer!!!111!1!

I wonder if the reporter even knew what a chupacabra was before her editor sent her out on this piece.

Raise your hand if you think it just looks like an ugly dog… :smack:

It looks like a shaved bull terrier to me. Either that, or the love child of Spuds MacKenzie and SDMB’s faithful mascot Sam.

It’s some sort of canine with severe mange.

It’s almost like a chupacabra, only it blows goats.

Holy crap! That dog looked remarkably like that squealing, hissing pet that Jabba the Hutt kept on a leash (not Carrie Fisher, the little one).

Or possibly it’s a cousin to the pet Targ that the Klingon captain had in ST3 The Search for Spock.

There was thread on this a while back. As I remember it had good links but no solution. Sorry my searchFu ain’t cutting it.

that chupacabras could possibly be exaggerated reports of hideous dogs (the pic of zombi-dog Sam inspired that thought.)

Well, I’d frankly rather encounter a herd of chupacabras in a dark alley than a single Sam.

Much to the surprise and disappointment of all, the alleged chupacabra turned out just to be a hairless coyote. I, for one, am very disappointed; I really thought we had the bastard this time. Oh well. I guess I’ll console myself by investigating the latest Yeti sighting.

And here I am with my travel plans already made.
Damn you. When the kids are crying for their chupacabra T-shirst I’m going to tell them it’s
all your fault!

I was about to say you could just get the kids some custom-made shirts with pictures of Sam on them and tell them he’s Chupacabra, but the downside is they would never sleep with the lights off again.
