Gross.  Its just some mutated, foul, Mexican dog that escaped across the border half way through the taco making process.

 The Chupacabra Caught?

It really does exist! Maybe! The famed chupacabra has apparently been found, and it's a Texan.

Or at least it was. The beast is now dead, but news of its capture near Blanco, Texas, inspired Bigfoot-sized searches. Lookups on "chupacabra" surged a whopping 571%, and related queries on "what does chupacabra mean" also roared. (For the record, its rough translation is "goat sucker.") The find also inspired renewed interest in the equally notorious Montauk Monster.

Jerry Ayer, owner of Blanco Taxidermy School, has possession of the mythical beast's body. According to CNN, the animal was discovered by one of Ayer's students. The student had "placed poison...to catch an unidentified animal that had gotten into a family member's barn." Little did the student know the animal in question was (maybe) the chupacabra.

In the video from CNN (which is pretty gross, so beware), Ayer shows off some of the unusual features of the animal, including abnormally long legs and teeth. It looks a bit like the world's ugliest (and meanest) dog.

Of course, this is hardly the first time someone has claimed to have captured the chupacabra. In years past, brave souls have spotted it in places ranging from Russia to Maine to the Philippines. Often the animal is spotted by folks who conveniently forget to snap a photo.

Not so this time. Ayer says he plans to preserve the animal and then donate it to a local museum so it can be enjoyed by others. As the taxidermist puts it, the beast is "a tremendous conversation piece." Sort of like the Mona Lisa or a really stellar collection of garden gnomes.

Yeah.. God forbid we just label it a new breed of dog...because dogs and coyotes and anything else in that realm of animal NEVER breed with eachother...  This happened befor ein Cuero TX... they found a dead one.. ended up bein a coyote...  then a sheriff caught one on cam... looks like an inbred coyote to me.

Actually Snipe IS a type of bird. fast little buggers the British used to shoot in India, being able to hit them is where the term "sniper" came from, before the late 1800's they were just referred to as "sharpshooters".

India, no wonder I can't find any snipes here. I know a guy with Big Foot in his freezer! A man gets lonely in the desert.

Actually snipe are native to the US. Look like a wood cock and found in low wet areas. They are hard to shoot, damn tasty and legal game everywhere I've lived.

Wood Cock was the one I was trying to think of to compare them to but I was spacing on the name
