Interesting article in the new FT from a writer who interviewed the first woman to identify the chupacabras. Reading it, it does come across as if she had been very impressed with the monster in the then-recent film Species and hallucinated/mistook/invented her sighting. But what was everyone else seeing, if that was the case? Was it a bandwagon it was fashionable to be on for a while, before it slipped into obscurity?

I'd suggest Radford's Tracking the Chupacabra. It tells the whole story.

Mangy coyotes?
 
Oh this is bad, in more ways than one.

Under no circumstances should any of your children look up the name of Netflix’s soon-to-be-released children’s movie, Chupa without SafeSearch on.
I think it's a non-story.

There's Spanish candy maker Chupa Chups. Chupa has always meant "to suck" in Spanish. Chupa Chups makes lollipops.

Maybe someone should have told the director of the movie? Well, the writer/director is Mexican himself, and two of the three stars are Mexican or Mexican-American. In all likelihood they know what Chupa means.

"Chupa follows Alex, a young boy from Kansas City who heads to Mexico to meet his family." A young kid from Kansas City isn't going to know spanish slang. Context, people.

Now if the title was "Chupa mi _______" that would be something else (and quite rude so I wont put the last word in there).
 
Could it be a chupacabra?

Texas park officials are facing quite the conundrum after a “mystery animal” was caught on camera inside a South Texas state park.

Now, folks on social media can’t stop racking their brains trying to figure out what the creature could be.

On Thursday, officials from the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park posted a snapshot of the animal on Facebook asking the public to help identify it.

“We’re scratching our heads trying to identify this elusive creature,” read a post from the Mission, Texas-based park. “Is it a new species? An escapee from a nearby zoo? Or just a park ranger in disguise?”

It didn’t take long for Facebook users to toss out their best guesses about what the four-legged creature could be, including “an opossum crossed with a raccoon” and a “chupacabra.”

It's getting really annoying that every mystery animal in the southern US (at least) is labeled a "chupacabra" by ignorant netizens trying to be noticed.

It's an interesting pic. Maybe otter, badger, or coati? I've not seen any reasonable suppositions.

Were it not for the location I'd think wolverine.
 
A long time ago I had to drive through two corn fields to work ( the corn fields are houses now ) and going home one night a huge hairless type dog was in the middle of the road.

Maybe it was dog with terrible mange ?

This creature had an attitude as it took its time to move out of the road.

I don’t know what it was.
 
Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division Identifies Strange-Looking "Chupacabra"

“Chupacabra?” the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division (AWFFD) asked in a Facebook post showing an almost completely hairless—and pretty darn ugly—canine. A chupacabra is a mystical vampirical creature thought to drink the blood of livestock.

“As much as we’d love a real cryptozoological confirmation, this ‘goat sucker’ is actually a coyote severely impacted by mange,” the AWFFD explains. “The burrowing of mange mites leads to itching and hair loss, and some affected individuals can become quite debilitated and eventually succumb to issues caused by this condition. Others, with a healthy immune system and good nutrition, may eventually overcome all effects of mange and recover. Things aren’t looking good for this fellow, but animals can live for an extended period of time with this malady.”

We caught the mythical Chupacabra vampire beast, hunters claim

A fearsome, mythical bloodsucking beast known as ‘Chupacabra’ has allegedly been shot dead by hunters.

A group of men claim to have gunned down the mysterious beast in a forest.

They filmed what they say is the deceased Chupacabra, whose name translates to ‘Goat-Sucker’.

It happened in the woods in Guia Lopes da Laguna, west of São Paulo, Brazil.

The dead beast has human-like hands and is roughly the size of a large monkey.

The man claims that they chased the bloodsucking monster before their hunting dogs fought with it.

One of the hunters then allegedly shot the beast dead.

Proof at last.
 
The dead beast has human-like hands and is roughly the size of a large monkey.
Surprised this isn't buried at the very end just in case people might be doubting its monstrous authenticity due to the fact that it looks exactly like a dead monkey.
