These "Chupacabras" corpses have been tested independently for DNA and have been found to be mere stray dogs, coyotes and mixed breeds of canids of all sorts. That was in answer to your original question and the answer I made before has nothing to do with the reply you have made.You are making a false analogy which is actually a nonsense remark. The suggestion of Caribbean (NOT Western North Atlantic) Elephant seals are supported by a string of reports from the 1800s up to current, tracks in the same date range and bioth continuing down to the E coast of Brazil where Elephant seals are KNOWN to be, the traditions I have mentioned and the sculptural representations which go with those traditions. Plus at least one clear good photograph which is in Ivan Sanderson's files and which I examined when I was going through those files in the 1970s and I made a copy of it. It is a very clear photo showing a very obvious young male elephant seal from Eastern Costa Rica in the same region where this same tradition has been recorded. Besides that we have less clear but more recent videotapes. You are speaking rubbish and I do not intend to flatter your ego by replying to you any further until and unless you actually have something worthwhile to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629061224332673795.post-857470488809268952012-09-20T16:43:24.468-07:002012-09-20T16:43:24.468-07:00True!

I thought it had recently been proven that the quasi-hairless canine chupacabras (such as "the Texas Dashcam Chupa") were Mexican coy-wolf hybrids?

And that is rabies. Rabies (el Mal, or The Bad Thing in Mexico)can cause dogs to go on killing sprees attacking everything in sight but eating none of it, because they can no longer swallow properly; and many of the depictions and descriptions of te Chupacabras-dogs have them drooling or frothing at the mouth. The rabies could also be carried by bats, even giant bats, and they could also become "Furious" killers, with a fixation for drinking blood like the fictional vampires (this is in fact the reason given for why fictional vampires act that way according to so medical experts). Ironically, the "Bloodsuckers" would eventually get to the point where they could not even drink the blood of their victims, at which point they would merely be wasting it on the ground.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629061224332673795.post-37018544182020947102011-12-06T15:23:16.918-08:002011-12-06T15:23:16.918-08:00Charles Fort, in Lo!, has a number of sheep-killer...Charles Fort, in Lo!, has a number of sheep-killer and chicken-killer cases from England.
