Boy Shoots Chupacabra In Texas: Photos

CARTER Pope, 13, has shot and killed a  chupacabra at his home in La Salle, Texas. Says Pope:

“Something slowly came across and started shaking, slowly moving across. It was grey, no hair at all. I thought that’s a chupacabra.”

What with this being Texas, Pope did as any local might when confonted with a thing of wonder and legend: he shot it dead. He then tried to work out what it was.

So. Is it a  chupacabra, a mythical creature that that sucks the blood of livestock? Or its a sick dog, say, or a calf, or just the last of its kind shot in the face by a boy who dared to dream..?

This photo, taken in 1972, seems to show the Loch Ness Monster moving toward the right with its hump protruding well above the surface and its mouth open.
