Actually, the story is a hoax, the picture is real enough, although it is part of a 'special effects' photo shoot done by a photographer. Details can be found on THIS THREAD

You'll notice the original link to the picture on the crypto website has been taken down. Obviously the forum administrators were somewhat concerned about a copyrighted picture being displayed on their site without permission from the photographer, as the poster warned.

Usually I have a source, but this time I couldn't find one. Every cryptozoologyst I’d spoken to about it said it was an obvious fake. We go through stuff like this all the time at Cryptozoology.com. I think that most cryptozoologysts (or at least the good folks at Cryptozoology.com) will say that we have yet to find an authentic chupa pic. Not a single one! tongue.gif rolleyes.gif
