uh, has any one noticed how many different descriptions of el chupacabra there are? none of them have anything in common, and the hoax pictures just make things worse by not going with the descriptions, of which there are too many and too varied all ready. so lets try to list the descriptions and clarify.

alien type - egg head, fangs, bug eyes, no lips or nose, just nostril slits, grey skin, with either a row of spines down the back, one long fin, or batty wings, tha tit jumps or flies with.

bear type - like a humaniod bear, with fangs, long claws, a tail, longish ears, slit, reddish eyes, sometimes with wolfish characteristics.

bat type - a mutated bipedal bat with small wings and a humanish face. and fangs of course.

The fake type in all the photos i've seen

I haven't heard about the bat or bear type. The only descriptions I've read about are what you listed under the alien type. I'd be interested in reading sources with the bear like and bat like description.

I have also heard of a Hyena-like Chup. It walks on four legs although it is able to stand on it's back legs to attack.

Ive read many times about a form of chupacabras. this is sort of a half grey alien half kangaroo, hopping on two hid leg really fast but having the usal eys and body of a grey alien, personally i think if it exist at all it is a large bug, because no kinds animals or living creature on this planet suck the bodily juices out of other animals. also a giant bug could be mistaken for all of those things if seen by hysteical/drunk person at night. but i thik most of the discriptions are crap
