What do US dopers make of this? Is it a bit like finding out the Loch Ness Monster is actually just a boring old otter or something?

Wow, that looks like the worlds creepiest hand puppet.

I must say any woman willing to cut the head off such a foul beast, whether it be Cuero Chupacabra, manged coyote or what, has got a bona fide set of brass orbs.

No, I don’t mind. Now if you told me that Big Foot was *really *some guy in an ape suit *then *I’d be upset.

Huh? Virtually identical?

Well except for the hairless thing I’d think.

The dog boards I frequent all had that one pegged immediately. Go, Dog people!

Every coyote does not have identical DNA, virtually identical to the coyote probably means that “This DNA is enough of a match to our sample of Coyote DNA, that it is safe to say that it is a coyote.”

I will hug him and squeeze him and call him SATAN.

:waves for waiter:
Monitor wipe, please!

Well, I don’t care what anybody says. Here in AZ we know full well that the chupacabra exists.

And, of course, also the Jackalope.

After a night of heavy drinking at the local saloons, many sightings have been reported.
