That’s my friend Chupa. He sucks the blood from goats but also has the ability to take on the form of different animals. We’ve seen him as a wittew wabbit at Lake Mead, and as a variety of things in Los Angeles. One time I was alone, in the dark at a golf course when a bunch of coyotes were howling and, judging from said howls, getting real close real fast. I called out Chupa’s name and they stopped approaching. I’m surprised he let himself get photographed. ---

Serious suggestion (after observing a [bigger image](http://bp0.blogger.com/_fk0k5hB5NB8/SDjh4wjn7iI/AAAAAAAABMQ/Xt2XaxXLxAg/s1600-h/WTF.bmp)). I think it’s actually a child, whose far arm is up behind their head, giving it an unusual profile. ---

Has to be a dog… You just can’t see it’s right arm. It’s facing in the north-west direction based on it’s legs’ position from our pov (head and left arm turned a little more west). The bend in the legs also makes sense that it is a dog. Also you can see the face is quite brown. Also, the skin color would be nearly jet black, which is impossible. Most likely a poodle, terrier, or brussels griffon. I’m voting a breed of terrier that has quite a short hair cut. Man… I must be really bored tonight. ---

I zoomed it to 400% and it does look like a toddler with some weird shadows. Or maybe a kid who just rolled in mud. Strange little creature whatever it is. I want to know the real answer can you find out? Who is the e-mail from? Can they explain the picture? ---

Okay, this was supposed to be classified, but since you got photographic evidence, I’ll spill the rest of the beans. In 2004 an inter-dimensional army of aliens phased into several points of our Earth to start an invasion. This is one of them, just having appeared an discovering, like so many of his mates, that Earth’s oxygen is highly corrosive to their species and melting away. This true fact is what inspired M. Night Shamalayan to make the movie “signs”. True story.
