CRYPTOZOOLOGY, ODDITIES Chupacabra in the news in New Jersey and Texas

Mystery Creature Sighting Stuns N.J. Town; No One Has First Clue What It Is « CBS New York.

There has been a strange sighting of a strange creature in a suburban New Jersey town – and pictures of it have residents asking “What the heck is that?”

“I saw a strange animal in the front yard,” witness Rob Lyons said.

Lyons had the presence of mind to shoot a picture of the creature on his smartphone.

“It was too small to be a coyote. Definitely not a dog. Might be a cat. Prances like a cat. It was weird,” Lyons said.

NO one has a CLUE? Really? Clue one: it looks like a canid – dog, coyote or fox. The guesses in this piece are absolutely stupid. But the last line gets to the facts – a canid with mange.

This report of the same Ridgeway animal is no better but also manages to hide the logical explanation at the end.

Another chupa story came out of Texas and TOPPED THE NEWS. Seriously!? This is top news?

Topping our news tonight, the possible discovery of the mysterious Chupacabra in the Coastal Bend. The animal was first seen in thick brush a few miles northeast of Falfurrias about a month ago.
