Living in the country here in Georgia I can't tell you how many times I've seen coyotes with mange that look exactly like the one in the video.

Piffle! You are just not in 'tune' with the legend...You are living in the traditional breeding grounds of the chupacabra, also , home to the famous Georgian 'peckerwood'.:D
 
This reminds me of another so called dead Chupacabra found months ago. The DNA anaylsis showed it was a coyote. But here from this site:

http://www.strangemag.com/recentadditions/chupacabracoyote.html

But by early November, the beast's remains had seemingly been identified as a coyote.

Texas State University biologists had been provided a tissue sample by San Antonio's KENS-TV, whom Canion had contacted when she discovered the carcass. Mike Forstner, a biologist, announced that the DNA sequence was a nearly identical match to a coyote's DNA. Scientists at the Department of Biology at Texas State University used the Beckman-Coulter CEQ 8800 DNA sequencer to arrive at this result, using the sample provided by the TV station (i.e. not from the head kept by Canion).

One person who disagreed with this identification was Canion, who assessed the DNA information as flawed. On her website, Chupacabra Headquarters, she wrote: "The Cryptid is ALMOST a match for a common coyote, but it is actually a greater percentile for a common terrier and a Saint Bernard." And what she found was neither of those. She announced she would go after more testing at the University of California in Davis, and that her website would post the results.

Results were soon forthcoming. In a January 22, 2008 e-mail to Greg Snook of Strange Magazine, Phylis Canion revealed them. After testing hide, tooth and tissue of the beast, UC-Davis's Veterinary Genetics Laboratory worked out that it was coyote (Canis latrans) on its mother's side and Mexican Wolf on its father's side. They were still trying to figure out why it lacked hair. Canion reacted: "They say it is a hybrid — I still say it is a chupacabra."

The mystery of hairlessness was also a concern at Texas State University, where further skin samples had been taken to solve this and presumably other questions.

Now why would a Wolf have sex with a coyote, is a mystery to me, unless the wolf was really horny and did not care, or someone (on their own) is trying to hybred a Wolf/Coyote mix and lets go any pup that they deem is ugly.
 
Aren't chupacabras supposed to have nasty claws and razor sharp beaks perpetually covered in blood and chicken feathers? I would have expected a forked tongue, velociraptor-like menace, and an icy glare that would freeze the marrow in your bones while it stalked the land looking for puppies and goats to suck dry. Maybe it would hiss and click in warning.

This scruffy little dog, trotting up the road, just doesn't cut it.

LOL!

We already have the Georgia "Peckerwoods." They're the two idiots who thought they could fool everyone with a bigfoot costume in a freezer. :)

Hiya. You forgot the wings.

But even those folkloric descriptions cannot anatomically fit the total drain of blood (without spill) from the victims.

And no, I haven't been to TX recently.

Ah yes, the wings! So they can fly from goat to goat and avoid detection!
 
I saw a dog with horns once. it actually had some sort of bony protrusions from its skull. i wish I had taken a photo. It was quite gross.
 
They have them in Ukraine now too.

Vets in Ukraine are struggling to identify a 'mutant' animal shot by hunters in a remote area of the former Soviet republic. Locals say it is a mystery 'Chupacabra' - allegedly sighted a few times in recent years - that preys on rabbits, goats and house animals.

Grey in colour and with 'fangs' and a longish neck, it has shorter front legs, slightly resembling a kangaroo, while also showing a likeness to a dog and a fox, say those who have seen it.

The animal doesn't look like a fox or a wolf, or a raccoon,' Mikhail Ilchenko, deputy head of the district veterinary service in Mikhailovskoe, told Komsomolskaya Pravda, Ukraine.

'It cannot even be a marten. I have never seen such animal before. But, judging by the fangs, I can definitely say that it is a predator.'

What is that? It looks like a raccoon (eye mask and nose shape) but I'm not sure about the front feet, which should look like hands with long fingers, and the tail isn't banded. Is it an African civet? I don't think either should be found in Ukraine but you never know about the source (Mail Online) and the first photo they show isn't the same animal. I believe that photo is from Texas of a coyote or fox.
