Was an El Chupacabra found in a small Mississippi town?
Residents are wondering after an odd-looking hairless creature came out of nowhere and began living in some woods near residents’ homes in Picayune in Pearl River County.
“I kept looking up ‘hairless coyote,‘ and it kept saying ‘chupacabra,’” said Amanda Denton, one of the residents. “We’ve been running back and forth to our cars because we didn’t want the chupacabra to get us.”
Jennifer Whitfield and her 11-year-old son Justin saw the creature in another part of the town.
“If a zombie had a dog, it would look like that,” she told WLOX.
However, David Burnette, a master sergeant with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, said that it appears to be a coyote with mange.
“It’s probably sick, weak, and not able to hunt on its own, so it’s going to the nearest food source it can find,” he said.
Chupacabra stories started after livestock attacks in Puerto Rico and Mexico. A prominent feature of the attacks was that the dead sheep were discovered with puncture wounds, and completely drained of blood, reported Discovery. Reports also came out of Latin America and the United States.
