Its obviously a Dogcatcoon.  If you aren't paying attention you might mistake it for what passes for the Chupacabra these days.

You're off the mark on this one OP.

Its an Egyptian hieroglyph depicting a dog, brought to life by dripping Sasquatch blood on the carving. It died after we ran out of Squatch blood for it to feast on...

Not to be confused with Anubis, because that would just be silly.

How silly of me.  Looked just like another photo of a Dogcatcoon that a cryptozoologist showed to me.  My bad!  Thanks for the clarification.

There were reports o the mysterious "sal3awa" as it is called, attacking people in remote villages in Egypt. These reports seem to be seasonal

exactly .. also called " sheba " in other cultures like ours
i kept hearing stories about it from Bedouin friends when i was in the army years ago
and no one knows animals like they do

they describe it as vicious animal who inhert this savage nature from the cross breed
it wa a wolf and another animal i can't recall mating
i heard about egypt accidents and hear the animal claimed 13 victims if what i read was true
also similiar animal was reported in iraq and lebanon

I would agree. It's more likely a fox or coyote with mange.

Isn't it amazing that such an animal is known in so many countries, yet remains a mystery known be only a small group of people?
I seem to remember reading an article in an Egyptian newspaper that it was identified as a coyote or jackal

well to tell the truth we you and me ,, assuming like me you lived in city or town in countryside or so
don't actually encounter animals or know much about them
but to people who actually live in wilds they counter wolves and all kinda of animals they're bound to know more
still this certain animal was always considered to be related to myth legend and magic and such
but i personally think there is many creatures we don't know yet especially in our countries
since unlike the western countries there hasn't been an extended studies of animals here like they have there
so it's possiable .. i think

I was a Cairo girl while I lived in Egypt, the only animals I regularly encountered were mainly dogs and cats, and occasionally horses and donkeys!
The only wilderness left in Egypt is in the deserts, where these sal3awas come from seeking food in remote villages. You are right about how unfamiliar people are with indigenous desert wild animals, even the inhabitants of the attacked villages did not recognize the unfamiliar animal which attacked them! It's a pity, but the desert has always been the feared unknown to people of the valley

Thanks for being open to my hypothesis

I think most of these animals killed are just mange ridden  dogs, foxes, coyotes etc....they will be sick so probably would come closer to humans and therefore feast on chickens etc. Foxes do kill all the chickens in one go usually too, then they go back and forth taking them to bury them.
I have no idea why people think these are Chupacabra's....probably just cos they are hairless and look strange?

[GhostHunterChickx]

just like those boys did with a hairless sloth, they killed it with stones cos it looked strange....

I see a lot of teeth-kicking at "idiot" believers, and almost no actual identifications from the kickers. Maybe we should act less like drunken hickshits and more like people considering a range of possibilities?
