Local animal experts are having a hard time identifying a strange looking animal killed in Angelina County on Friday -- an animal that looks eerily similar to the as yet unidentified "Elmendorf Beast" killed near San Antonio earlier this year. "What is that?" are the first words out of anyone's mouth when shown photos of the animal, according to Stacy Womack. Womack -- who has more than 20 years experience working at Ellen Trout Zoo and for a local veterinarian -- said she's seen and handled a lot of different animals, but that she's never seen anything like this one. "It's not a dog," she said. "I'd bet my lottery ticket on that." The animal's blue-grey skin is almost hairless and appears to be covered with mange. A closer look at the animal's jaw line reveals a serious overbite and four huge canine teeth, and a long, rat-like tail curls behind the animal's emaciated frame. The animal was shot and killed shortly before noon Friday after crawling under her mother's house in Pollok.

Womack said large dogs in the yard "went nuts" and alerted the family, but would only whine and wouldn't go under the house with the animal. Her brother shot the animal, tied a rope around it and dragged it out from under the house for a closer look, she said. Womack was called to take a photograph of the animal, and possibly help identify it, as well. A live animal, just like the one in the picture, darted across the road in front of her car while she was driving to the scene.

AH. I saw this first in another thread.
In the other thread it had a picture of the head without the gloved hand. Looks all to much like a dog with overbite.

Everything and anything these days is being claimed to be a Chupacabra, and it doesn't help the case for it's existance, in my opinion it proves that it doesn't exist at all, since no one can agree on what it's even supposed to be.

I agree with Burnside I would like to believe in Chupy but there's so many different looks that Chupy has.

Okay, i think i've read something like this on Forteantimes.com and it was identified as a fox with mange.

Anyone else hear that one too?

I think this is a different, more recent animal. There have been quite a few of these this year.

People tend to exaggerate their terrorfying experience with anything, which is why people don't believe it actually fits the description of a Chupacabra. This new species can exactly be the Chupacabra without the overexaggeration that the media and public has proclaimed.

Maybe they should remove the hairs off a coyote and several species of dogs to check for any similarities...

I would like to believe in Chupacabra. This seems solid, i mean, the vet dont know wat it is.

Time for a DNA test. Let the Goverment spend our money on some thing good for a change.

Exactly

ooooh look at that things, i wonder what it is...

probably a dog....

That thing looks like its made of latex.

This is getting so pathetic...

why does anyone actually believe that the thing is real? it looks like a toy! or fake at least...

eh...a very realistic toy...all rotten tissue and stuff...yeah right

Prehaps there is a mutant strain of a bacterial infection which causes these wild dogs to loose their fur and become emaciated. There have been quite a few cases recently and it seems to me that the dogs are coming close to human habitation because they are ill and looking for easy food from the rubbish that himans leave around.

I told you we were overrun with Chupacabras in Texas.

it's body looks kinda like a kangaroo might, with the front legs shorter than the others, maybe it walked on two legs?

Earth Files has loads of pics of this creature... some look fake, while others look real, so i'm not sure what to think...

i do find this somewhat amusing tho...



if you dont know what it is, why kill it? i dont understand these people, it could easily have been a neighbours dog or something?!? Either these are hicks that'll shoot anything that moves, or it's a made up story

The nose and teeth are very canine.

This whole thing screams mutated fox with mange...

OKay I caught this on the spanish channel so happens I can't understand a word of spanish. The animal looked like a coyote with mange and has been the sun a little to long.

that pciture looks fake, i mean im sure the story behind it exsists not that particular one, but the theory overall and evidence.. but that picture looks a little fake.. what do you all think?

Labeling nasty dead canines "monsters" and "chupacabras" and "cryptids" has become the new craze! Sort of a weird flap deal. The pics all looks real, just not real significant.

hello to all my im lyric and im from lufkin texas.. i can assure everyone that this thing is real as is the pictures.. from what is being told to us around here is that it is thought to be canine of some sort..no one knows exactly..is it chupacabra i don't know i would love to think so..but im not sure either its is a strange creature at best guest i don't think it tobe a coyte or a common dog or a mix of the two.. if anyone is interested they can email me i can send you the pics i have and i have to add a few more elements to the story
#1 there have been two killed in or around lufkin and one near san antonio and none of the beasts killed shed one drop of blood when they were shot.. the one in pollock (near lufkin) looked as if if began to decay when shot even one of the ears crumbled to the touch
# one man said he saw something just like this about two months ago in his driveway and it did stand up on its back legs like a kangaroo would
i don't know what this is but i do know its unexplainable and strange and completly intriging ..i believe there to be more around
we have sent it off for dna testing i hope we get the results of that soon
some are saying that when the space shuttle exploded about two years ago the toxins were released and that could be affecting the local wildlife (possible before humans)
and other people are saying that genetic animal testing is going on and failed expeirments being turned out into the wild instead of being put to sleep i don't know what the DNA test will reveal but i can't wait to get read them for myself
if anyone is interested please email me and i will do my best to keep in contact with you to let you know what we are being told on the home front

With all the toxic dumping, chemicals in the river and airborne; it’s only going to be so long before we have 3 eyed fish and strange looking predators around. Nature can only absorb so much.



just look at this lemon!

Damn, why'd they have to kill it? And it had a partner too? This sucks

If this is so, it makes the animals sound even more badly sick. Little blood could mean anemia and hopping around like a kangaroo could mean injurys or deformatys, especially to the front legs, for example. Poor mangy mutts,ect. were a wreck, probably suffering quite a bit.

just in respose to that statement.. if that is the case that is is just a mangy sick mutt then putting it down was almost a mercy kill like you would a lame horse however being the person i am i would like to think there is more to it than that .. more mysterious

Thank God Ms Womack's brother was allowed to own a gun

i saw sometin like this on waoi.com but it looked a little different, they have a video on it to

haha lol
