Another Creature With Mange As Chupie Report

Another report, this time from Oklahoma, of a hairless animal interpretated as the Chupacabra. I still find it fascinating how the meme/lore (which is not to suggest the chupacabras is not real) has transformed from the almost alien like, true cryptid type creature to a familiar animal like the dog, fox, racoon, etc.

I have thought the same thing. How did this cryptid evolve from an upright alien looking creature to a hairless dog?

I'm sure there is some sort of sociology paper in all this...

I live in Texas and actually saw one of these hairless coyotes in the Sam Houston National Forest. It was clearly a canid. My friends, one of which who was with me at the time, have started calling them Chupacabrayotes :)

Keep up the good work...
