| Watching on live news this creature in a cage...claiming it to be a Chupacabra. Found in Ratcliffe, Texas. Authorities are saying it's a dog with mange or coyote with mange...
No flipping way...

| I guarantee it's an animal with Mange. I didn't watch it, but I've dealt with mangy animals coyote hunting and they are exceptionally nasty. They do look like abominations, but they aren't mythical creatures. |

| Hairless coon!!!!!!! I bet it's most likely mange but wouldn't be surprised if it was a genetic mutation.....that is how the dog breed American hairless came about....lol my poor hairless dog looks a little like this. |

It IS a raccoon. No doubt! I've seen one before, looked exactly the same.

| I agree it looks like a coon, but look at how long the tail is. Must be mutated. I've never seen a coon with that long of a tail. |

| This thing has "hands" and a rounded eye. Coon with mange is my guess too. |

| Ok, so I looked and those feet tell me Raccoon with Mange. After being the one to hold the coons while hubby skinned them, I know what a hairless coon looks like....LOL Although that was hide and all! Some really do have long tails, all of their hair just makes them look short and poofy. |

Also, there is no bull semen in Red Bull. And the bison in Yellowstone are migrating like they do every spring. Nice try Facebook.
