Yea, that fits all the characteristics of a canine, most likely some kind of weird mutant liter that all died off together.

I find it hard to believe that, that could be the famous goat sucker of myth. Namely because I don't believe a creature of that size could sustain itself from blood alone.

Regardless, that is one hell of a beast.

Plus, it only loosely fits most of the descriptions of El Chupacabra given by "eye witnesses". The only real matching one being "Primarily hairless"

My god, that IS some serious mange... dear lord.

But look at the size of it's head, Grey foxes are smaller than red foxes and judging by the size of that head, that is at least twice the size of what I would expect from a Red fox.

I didn't know mange actually increased the size of the animals.

We watched a silly movie about the chupacabra in spanish last year. I called it the chubby cobra and told my teacher it was complete BS, to which she responded I can do worksheets if I didn't fully appreciate the movie.
