Do you believe chupacabras exist? You’re not alone, at least not in Texas. A “chupacabra” — sometimes referred to as “the chupacabra” — is one of the American Southwest’s most famous cryptids. Cryptids, according to Merriam-Webster, are “animals that have been claimed to exist but never proven to exist,” like the Loch Ness Monster or Sasquatch, for instance.
The folkloric creature, whose name means “goat sucker” in Spanish, is believed by some to roam areas of Puerto Rico, Mexico and the U.S., especially southwest Texas. Chupacabras were first reported as recently as 1995 but they’ve persisted as a feared livestock predator for decades.
A few of the most recent alleged sightings, which frequently take place in the summer months, include:

There’s a little Chupacabra in all of us.
We actually had a coyote on our cul-de-sac a couple of years back. I was surprised they came so deep into residential neighborhoods..............................

In Texas they would shoot MFer’s. Getting seen too much, like byedumb.
Are you kidding? Coyotes have been colonizing San Francisco for over a decade. They come into urban areas now.
I’ve seen them on Eglin AFB lots of times, and along teh roads to and from Eglin, but not in my driveway!......................I think it was rabid. When I yelled at it, it didn’t take off running, like I expected, but stopped and growled at me...............

NO, no not some unknown chemical on your fine lens!
Use pure organic nose grease or forehead grease.

More amusing were the sightings of “pterodactyls”.
California Condors almost went extinct, so there was a very well thought out scheme to replenish their numbers, then release them in California. The started out by using the much more common Andean Condors, for breeding and release, and they were right the first time.
So they held an Andean Condor round up, and shipped them back to South America. Then they applied the breeding and release program to the California Condors.
The first glitch was that California Condors were like other Californians, wanting free stuff and fast food. And when a four foot tall bird asks you for your McNuggets, you don’t say “no”.
The second glitch is that California Condors have very large territories from each other, so with more birds, they started to migrate. They have now taken up residence in northern Arizona, the Grand Canyon, and northern Baja.
What they didn’t anticipate was that they might travel along the northern Mexican mountains, and end up in Texas.
That is, “pterodactyls”. And truthfully, unless you are expecting them, their three meter wingspan casts a big shadow. I can imagine the sight giving a small dog a heart attack.

Introduce it to Mister Twelve Gauge.
Maybe he shot, shoveled, and shut up?

Advise him to move to a Gun Free zone state?
Not scared of chupacabras.
It is the gatonejos that roam the state you need to be aware of.
