Looks like a common grey fox with mange—which would make it a canine.
Yeah, I think you guys on this thread are right—raccoon with mange.
Coon.... Chupcobblers eat faces off cattle not corn
Yep.
Every onekeeps saying something with mange, hairless. That thing aint hairless, and it does not have mange.
It’s a coon with mange
Sorry pal,that’s a big ass not a big foot.
There’s something vaguely canine about it but it doesn’t move like any variety of canine I’ve ever seen, and it’s really not built like one either. Reminds me of some peculiar marsupial creature from Australia or New Zealand. It sits on it’s haunches and uses it’s front legs for arms like a kangaroo in a few of the stills. Didn’t see the claws, wonder if it climbs trees?
That’s what I was thinking. I’ve never heard of wild dogs going for corn, either.
It behaves more like a coon.
Some vet has got to take an interest.
I don’t consider Lufkin to be in SE TX, like the report states.
That is one creepy looking bear.
Not a raccoon. It looks exactly like much larger examples of so called Chupas. The ears are wrong. Spock wasn’t half Vulcan. We’ll just ignore the difference in his ears.
The tail is wrong. Most examples of Chupas have an extremely long tail.
It’s a juvenile so called Chupa.

Bald raccoon has PINK skin. Bald raccoons are still FAT. Bald raccoons don’t have Chupa’s long back legs.
Picture 11 appears to be some kind of beer can. The creature in the trap is a mangy old racoon that lost all it’s hair. As for the creature with white hair in frame 12, I will have to call Art Bell for that one.
“There is a DeWitt County in Texas. But there is no Ratcliffe in DeWitt County — or anywhere else in Texas.”

I’m pretty sure the chupacabra isn’t supposed to eat corn.
Ah, yes. There are actually TWO Ratcliffs (no “e”) in Texas. But neither are in DeWitt County. One is in Houston County — the location of this story — and the other in Starr County.
That is NOT a dog, though: I agree. My guess is that it’s a mangy raccoon.
it’s a hairless raccoon....my brother and I raised raccoons for 10 years in Texas back in the day......
My sister who is totally not a dog person, got two Doxies.
Flipped me out.
Naturally, they’re running amok.
So far, they have not bothered her kids.
