From KENS - TV
A rancher from the South Texas town of Cuero is telling a chupacabra tale and she say she has the evidence in her freezer.
Phylis Canion says the animal had been lurking around her ranch for years.
She said it first snatched cats, then chickens right through a wire cage. (It) opened it reached in pulled the chicken head out, sucked all the blood out, left the chicken in the cage.
Canion says two dozen chickens were sucked dry.
The meat, she says, was left on the bone.
Neighbors speculate the blue-colored animal that was doing all that damage was a chupacabra.
The name is translated from Spanish and means goat-sucker because the creature sucks the blood of livestock.
Canion says not one, but three chupacabras were spotted outside the town in recent days.
All of them, she says, were blue-skinned, had no hair and had strange teeth.
Although Canion and her neighbors feel she captured a chupacabra, others like State Mammalogist John Young says she captured a grey fox. When mange goes untreated it causes this type of reaction. they start to itch, lose all their hair, blue grey coloration. and the animal usually dies from it.
But it wasnt mange, but a car that killed the creature that Canion captured. There have been so many stories for so long. The chupacabra is a mythical thing and maybe it is, but this is something&a cross between something. What? I dont know, Id love to find out.
So, KENS-TV took samples of the creature and sent it off for DNA testing.
Those results are due.
Meanwhile, the creatures head, which is in Canions freezer, will go on her homes wall. This one hands down will draw the most attention. Because theyre gonna say you got zebras, you got this, you got that, what is this thing here? Thats what we call the South Texas taz devil.

I heard Phylis Canion on the radio tonight, and she claimed the creature had absolutely no teeth except for a pair of upper and lower fangs in the front of its mouth. Im seeing numerous teeth in the photo of its head. To me, the creature looks like a skinned canine (and thank you very much Charby for making me aware of what
those look like.
) What say you all?
