The Mythical Chupacabra

* Caution: Photos below might be considered a bit gory to some readers.*

Yesterday I mentioned that Texas was ... well, different from other states in the nation.
The terrain, the climate, the people, to name a few examples.
But ponder for a moment, how many states you've ever heard of which can boast a mythical hairless, blood-sucking wild dog, that - providing you might ever actually be lucky (or UN-lucky) enough to actually witness the sight of one of 'em, you'd have to wonder if you were seeing a dog ... or a wild boar.
And it might actually be that BOTH perceptions would be correct.
Below are a couple of photos from a ranch in Cuero, TX, where several Chupa have appeared, and where the ranch owner in the photo (No, that's NOT former TX Gov. Ann Richards) claims that she had discovered many of her chickens dead ...drained of their blood, but otherwise uneaten, prior to her discovery of the deceased Chupacabra.
Must be some mighty potent chicken blood there in Cuero, huh.

Oh ... For the record, the Chupacabra has been known to exist in Mexico for many years.

Maybe I should have said
Everything that sticks, stings, bites, or sucks your blood.
