I saw those pictures before and it looks like a dog to me. Here's how Wikipedia describes it:

The most common description of Chupacabra is a lizard-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature hopped 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue protruding from it, large fangs, and to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave a sulfuric stench behind. When it screeches, some reports note that the chupacabra's eyes glow an unusual red, then give the witnesses nausea. For some witnesses, it was seen with bat-like wings.


Another description of Chupacabra, although not as common, is described as a strange breed of wild dog. This form is mostly hairless, has a pronounced spinal ridge, unusually pronounced eye sockets, fangs, and claws. It is claimed that this breed might be an example of a dog-like reptile. The corpse of an animal found in Leon, Nicaragua, and forensically analyzed at UNAN-Leon is claimed as a specimen of this genus. Pathologists at the University found that it was an unusual looking dog-like creature of a unknown species. Unlike conventional predators, the chupacabra is said to drain all of the animal's blood (and sometimes organs) through a single hole or two holes.

That is a photo of a dog.

The symptoms of the chupacabra are all explainable by modern science.
In fact - I saw something on Discovery channel I think where they put a dead calf out and videotaped and documented the entire natural processes that resulted in an animal that matches a chupacrabra attack in a matter of 48 hours.

There are several insects involved that result in almost complete loss of bodily fluids, including blood.

I checked with Darwin The Reptilian, and he says he's still alive and well, so no. Ugly dog.

I made some joke about keeping him in a cage and now he won't return my calls.

I'm surprised you still have a face, then.

Might want to check on your girlie friend. Bastard gets vindictive. One time he mauled a basket of puppies and set it on fire, set it on my doorstep and rung my doorbell.

Looks more like a boar to me.

That's what I thought too.

It's a diseased canine, possibly a mixture of dog and wolf or coyote. He kinda has that Willey Coyote look like he's about to catch the Road Runner too.
