Halboo, that's not it. Probably a hoax. Everybody know the chupacapra are about 3 feet tall, long white hair, big eyes and they're invisible.

Maybe they just get bigger the further south one travels---In eastern Honduras they were known as Come Lengua and were much bigger as they ripped out the tongues of cattle.
:yes:

That is one strange looking animal.

There are many Mexican stories about the legendary Chupacapra ! What if they are true ? :spingrin:

And that brings me to the question ? Do any Nomads have chickens ? :?:

Are any missing :?:

I used to think the chupacabra was like the boogeyman....but Juan set me straight (again). He was the translator for an investigative team from the states that came to document a chupacabra incident here about 8 years ago. There were 7 goats picked up out of their 8' pen and thrown as far as 100' away...all but one was dead and they had 2 puncture wounds on their necks and the blood sucked out of em. Weird thing is there were absolutely NO tracks of any kind around the corral and the animals had marks on their backs as if they were lifted out by something.....oooooh...ahhhhh. There was even a video made of the evidence. The next day there was another incident but way down in south america....that sucker flies FAST. We take people to the ranch and love to scare the kids with the chupacabra story. The ranch family moved out but have now moved back in again as no other incidents happened after that.

That looks like a Dog to me.

Yeah Shari,
I do recall that story. Can't remember where I read about it though.

I think this might be one of Vicks pitbulls. He was saving this one for the big pitbull fight. Unfortunately, (not really) Mr. Vick will be tied up for some time in court and jail. I will agree that it was a really ugly animal. I had a blind date with a girl in high school that could have been related to this animal.:biggrin:

Chupacabras?:?: If you don't have any goats around the place, you'll be in a Chupacabra-free zone.:) Jeez! Glad those Chupacabras don't have a taste for pork, beef, chicken or seafood.:biggrin: Guess they're on a goat-blood diet.;)

This all reminds me of stories my grandparents and parents used to tell about their homeland: Transylvania...

El Chupacabras, or "Goatsucker" in Spanish. El Chupacabras was first spotted in Puerto Rico in 1994. Despite the name Goatsucker, El Chupacabras has been known to devour a variety of animals, including sheep, dogs, and even roosters. All Chupacabras's victims have been found dead the same way, with two puncture wounds in the neck and the entire body drained of blood. Frequently, there are some organs removed, although the only apparent wounds on the body are the puncture marks. Generally, there aren't any tracks around the dead animal. As of now, Chupacabras has no human victims.

Although Chupacabras was originally seen in Puerto Rico, there are now claims of sightings in Mexico and southwestern USA.

El Chupacabras is thought to be in conjunction with UFO's and cattle mutilations.

I was wondering if somebody was going to mention that!:lol:
It's one I've heard a lot from laborers en el norte over the years.
It seems to work as well as cuidado and the gabacho might get it too ;D

If they actually mount the head, they will have a good example of a meingee mutt that had the TJ cure of a bath of used motor oil.
That is a riot!!
