Chupacabre caught?

[PatM]

The reason I said mange was because it seems pretty common for animals  there to be afflicted to the point of hairlessness.

 There is always the potential for animals to have the hairless gene but it would be rather uncommon for them to survive to adulthood.
 I have seen a Red Squirrel with a total lack of hair and its mother had pushed it out of the nest. Nature is not big on sudden anomalies that may have a glaring disadvantage.

     As for the guy who said he never heard a coon make that kind of noise, must not have ever gotten close to a cornered, or caged coon before.  I catch them all the time, and they can make some pretty nasty growling noises, just like that one.  It sure looks like a hairless coon to me.  Whatever the reason for it not having any hair.

nose alone has coon written all over it.

I've trapped a lot of coons in my life, but not as messed up as that one.

And then there was that North Dakota coyote that got caught in a leg hold trap.  Gnawed three legs off and was still trapped....sigh!

The bigger questions remain unanswered. Could a bow be backed with its skin? Could a quiver be made? Inquiring minds want to know.

Looks pretty tough.    Better use a point made from untreated stone.

 He said he was a coon hunter........................... Most animals make the same noise after you shoot them .

I'm not scared of much mystical creatures included, but the man who is big enuff ole boy to shave an adult racoon this backwoods hillbilly  is steering clear of!

I can't see the video right now cause my computer is too slow. I remember though, when I was younger I was in a group home. Me and this kid Doug best (we were both like 14 or something, he may have been 13), well, we were both absolute idiots, so we decided to run away in the middle of the day, (which was kind of a right of passage at the group home I was at anyway). We just took off right into the woods, lol. We ran around for a while, and ended up heading down past this road into a corn field, and ended up sleeping in this corn field, back to back (it was cold). In the middle of the night, or it might of been early morning, I woke up with this weird dog sniffing me, it FREAKED ME OUT!  Doug never woke up, but it scared the crap out of me. Well we ended up sneaking back in the morning to nab some supplies and got caught and went back to jail, but I never thought about the dog, till nowadays when I hear stories about weird dog animals. I don't remember it having no hair either, but I didn't think nothing of it but being a weird dog. That group home was out in a place called riley, and apparently they got lots of stories about similar things. I know this guys grandma that swears when she was 20 or so something like that chased her all over the place or something, and his whole family swears it happened, lol. If there were chubacabras though, I'm sure my wife would of found, named, and taken in 5 of em by now already...
