I don't know what that is. Nasty looking though.

I'm not sure if I'm just trying too hard to look for a hoax explanation, but the front limbs seems like that could possibly have scaring. Like as in a taxidermy job combining the current animal with another animal's shorter front limbs?

If not...

The way the muzzle appears it seems to be canine meets a pig of some sort. The ears seem pig like as well, but the fur of the tail and the bone of the hind legs seems wrong to me for a pig.

It could be a type of marsupial or maybe the chuppa thingy is even a type of rare marsupial. Many marsupials do seem to have the longer hind legs than front.

The closest marsupials I saw (from a quick search) to something like this were the:
- Macropod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macropodidae
- Diprotodon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diprotodon
- pig-footed bandicoot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaeropodidae

This one happened to be killed in Arkansas when it was attacking a guys 2 dogs. There are at least 4 other pictures. I will see if I can get them.

I really believe that this is some sort of a dog. There is some kind of thing going on on the abdomen, but I don't know what stage of decomposition it is in. As for the lack of fur... it could be a Chinese Crested breed of dog or, seeing as there is a lot more fur on the tail than anywhere else, I think that the dog could have had their fur boiled off, held upside down by the tail. When my husband was in China, that was how their hosts prepared dog.

This looks exactly like the four "chupacabra" examples that were found in eastern Texas. There was a program just today on the History Channel that talked about this very thing. This creature looks exactly like those they found in Texas and Puerto Rico. They have run DNA and dozens of other tests on the tissue, skin and hair samples obtained by them. They can't determine if it's a mangey canine (dog, coyote, etc) or not.

I think it looked very marsupial, too, but oddly enough that wasn't mentioned at all in the program.

That would be great if we could see the video. i am into the myths as well. So I am trying to believe there is a Chuppacabra, but this is just one of those things that is going to be hard to prove or debunk. Because no one knows for sure about. I guess what I am saying Chuppacabra is just on of those cases that needs some kind of truth answered. I would like to see this clip if you can get it uploaded.

Could be LG, but definately the most compelling video I've seen is that video the Texas cops filmed, the footage looks alot like the last footage of the Tazmaian Tiger thought to be exinct...maybe its not.
