CHUPACABRAS "COUSIN" FOUND IN VALPARAISO

Specialists from the Museum of Natural History subjected the carcass of a specimen found in Cerro Cordillera to a battery of tests.
The situation came about a few days ago at the home of Manuel Otazo, who found the corpse of a strange animal inside a doghouse belonging to one of his animals. "We perceived the foul smell and thought at first that someone had thrown away fish byproducts. But then we saw that our pet was frightened and didn't want to go into his doghouse. Upon inspecting it we came across this monster," said Sonia Valdivia, the terrified homeowner.
Manuel Otazo explained that the animal had a small head and red fur, with large fangs, claws and hands resembling wings, different from any rodent or known domestic animal. "Before running it at night we would hear noises on the rooftops and hens and rabbits died recently at a neighbor's house. We think it could be the Chupacabras or one of his relatives that was wounded and came to die in our pet's doghouse."
After burying it, the owners subsequently contacted the Museum of Natural History of Valparaiso, who transferred the specimen to their facilities.
The animal was submerged in a special brine. Fernando Soto, professor of Biology, reported that the carcass -- in advanced stages of putrefaction -- will be submitted to a treatment based on choleopterids that devour flesh and bone to recover the skeleton. The bones will be compared later on with the anatomies of known species.
Despite the a priori exam performed on the animal, he noted that while it could be a dog or a cat, he was surprised by some strange features such as the absence of incisors, the size of its extremities and the color of its fur.
The Museum of Natural History says that it isn't so unusual to run into strange species in the area. Only a few months ago, they received the carcass of a pig with three eyes. "The owners, who were from Cerro Barns, decapitated it at once, because they thought it was a thing of the devil rather than a genetic aberration."

VALPARAISO? Valparaiso, Indiana?
Saw a coon down there one time, must have been about forty pounds. Think this creature might have been a coon?
Ingredients:
Months, sweat, Motif, ViewKit, TLC (a preservative), Audio Library 2.0, caffeine, Xt, fried DEF (a preservative), Xlib, cooked funky niblets (a preservative), math, red dye #5 (an artificial coloring), grace (a preservative), partially hydrogenated chupacabra oil.
I have always suggested that the Chupacabra might be some nasty bat creature. Either that, or sicko humans who eviscerate and desanguinate innocent animals.
WHOO HOO! My namesake LIVES... err... decomposes... but hey, close enough!
Sure 'bout that?
I live in Panama and this is nothing but hysterical crap. This chupacabra "stuff" was good for several months here (about ten year ago) for newspaper rag sales. Latins love these type of stories...It's a Latin thing even if the stories are not true.
Groan!
How much land in the United States will have to be set aside as 'habitat' for this new monster species?
Fortunately, none, since Valparaiso is in Chile... ;-)

Save the goatsucker!
My new project.
Pretty sure, keywords don't say it's my fault.
So I can relax.
Right?
