Researchers now believe that what we see above is the result of coyotes mating with a breed of hairless dog.

Its a mangy coyote, Monsterquest has proven that for one carcass... AS for the other....just plain scary...

#32 Posted by E-K-A-99 on 26 July, 2011, 18:55

i dont know what it is but it scares me..

#31 Posted by downpeta on 6 June, 2011, 5:56

Mutant hairless coyote.

Not a dog. The teeth are not canine.

vlad_the_1mp4l3r: mexico isn't the only spanish speaking country in the world, and chupas have been spotted in texas as well.

that's no chupacabra, well, it might be if it sucked sheep! that's a mangy old hound, probably a coyote since it was found in Mexico Chupacabras are only in Mexico, otherwise they wouldn't be called Chupacabras, and Thylacines live(d) only in Australia, and they have stripes, this one doesn't.

that is a canine with mange a severe case of it porse thing

The pic with the fangs showing clearly displays an animal with a very wide braud snout where as the other pics show an animal with a slender narrow snout

manged fox

#24 Posted by raptros on 6 January, 2008, 3:45

It does look like a Thylacine. But, The only possible way to get them here is importing them. Could someone have a secret reserve or Thylacines?

#23 Posted by lunardaughter on 13 November, 2007, 0:43

. . .Likewise...Though I must say. Its got some nice fangs.

#22 Posted by silenti on 14 April, 2007, 16:28

I'm still with the idea of a coyote/fox like animal with mange.

*BEEP* wrong, Bloodymess. Thylacines are not proved to extict. They found evidence in Austrailia. They think they may still be around

#20 Posted by bcmaster15 on 12 May, 2006, 4:41

*Sighs* Another blurry picture. Well it might be a fox, but who skinned it? It might have been born like that. Could be some sort of skinned dog. Don´t you hate it when you see blurry pics?

#19 Posted by kenshinx on 9 May, 2006, 8:53

whatever it is..i dont think they have to kill it :( cant they just cacht it?

#18 Posted by celephais70 on 3 May, 2006, 18:14

The word extinct is pretty meaningless. It really means that people have had no sightings of a creature for so long that they assume it to be dead. The Coelecanth anyone? The theory of a Thylacine might not be as outrageous as it seems. It's still a bloody sad picture though.

#17 Posted by einstein2211 on 3 May, 2006, 7:03

It is not a Thylacine. Although i do sometimes hope that Thylacines are still alive, because they are interesting creatures, you can see the red collar around the animals neck in the top left picture.

#16 Posted by daisy_vision on 26 April, 2006, 10:03

Ok wait. Chupacabra.. is a mythical animal who looks like a fox/dog who eats other animals? That's a pretty lame mythical animal considering there are foxes that eat other animals, too.

#15 Posted by bloodymess on 13 April, 2006, 0:34

i'll agree with liknatheart, it looks like a bloody Thylacine. HOWEVER It brings up other questions: Thylacines are instinct(but only since the 50's) and lived only in tasmania... so perhaps i'll go with the manged fox idea.

#14 Posted by chrysischylde on 4 April, 2006, 6:49

It looks like a starving wallaby to me...... and its been known that people in the states have kept wallabies or small kangaroos as exotic pets. I believe that a small kangaroo was recently hit by a car in Wisconsin.... there was an article and pics of it.... I believe its on cryptomundo.

I like Gear's deductive reasoning That's probably the most absolute and sinceable statement I've ever heard. I no longer have to stay awake at night wonderning what the He@# was that thing. Now I know, It's a fox with severe mange. Well done! I know that my comment may sound a little tongue in cheek but I think it's quite funny that we're all speculating, wanting to believe it's something out of the ordinary and it is. It's a fox with severe mange.

#12 Posted by sunluvinseamonkey on 16 January, 2006, 9:07

The "dead" pix were taken in Lufkin, Tx. It was a very mange infested coyote.

#11 Posted by devilwolf slaru 11 on 31 December, 2005, 2:00

i feel a little sad for whatever it was. does EVERYTHING have to die?

#10 Posted by legendcop13 on 15 December, 2005, 20:43

its too weird it's possible, however, zombie dog, maybe, rabies, maybe normal dog,..not at all...

#9 Posted by gear on 6 November, 2005, 20:46

it is a fox with severe mange, i think shooting this animal was the kindest thing to do

#8 Posted by ihatethelight_76 on 3 November, 2005, 9:12

the other picture that has the video stills..wer by a farmer in elmendorf texas. he said the animal was eating his chickens..and that it hopped like a kangaroo. he shot it..it fell over..and no blood what so ever

#7 Posted by ihatethelight_76 on 3 November, 2005, 9:09

this animal was shot and killed by a farmer in texas...lufkin texas to be exact. he said that when he pulled the ears to hold up the head for one of the pictures...the ears fell apart.as if it wer rotted

#6 Posted by avitus on 29 October, 2005, 22:28

weird but i dont think its the beast of bosnia too big and its mouth is too long the bob has a shorte moth and teeth

#5 Posted by lyknatheart on 13 October, 2005, 2:49

Has anyone ever thought, it could be a tasmainaian Tiger?

#4 Posted by kenzie_the_unexplained on 10 October, 2005, 7:39
