BLANCO (LALATE) – PHOTOS. The believed El Chupacabra found last week was a coyote, says investigators to local news today. El Chupacabra claims last week were fake. Pictures did not show the famed beast of regional folklore; rather it showed simply a sick coyote reports Texas news this weekend.

DNA tests have revealed the believed El Chupacabra found instead a U.S. barn was simply a coyote with skin mites and internal parasites causing it to be hairless and appear deformed.

In 2007, Texas State University’s Mike Forstner tested a believed El Chupacabra. Forstner returned this week to test the latest animal. Mike ays the current animal found is simply a coyote, adding there were only three possibilities: it’s someone’s pet, it’s a coyote, or it’s a hairless dog species.

Reports and pictures of El Chupacabras (aka el chupucabra, chubacabra, or el chupa) have dominated Florida and Texas news over the last 5 years. Yet despite all these news reports, each rancher who finds their own coyote exclaims they have never seen anything like it. (It’s not clear if theyactually watch the news.)

News reports in each spotting always include someone’s comment about how ugly the beast is. Now we know that this coyote was “ugly” because the animal was sick. Animal control officer Frank Hackett said to local news last week“All I know is, it wasn’t normal. It was ugly, real ugly. I’m not going to tell no lie on that one.”

Chupacabra translates as an animal that consumes goat blood. Yet in none of these reports are goats actually found.
