CUERO, Texas -- A South Texas woman believes she has found the head of the mythical bloodsucking ‘chupacabra’.

The woman found the skull last month outside her ranch in Cuero, Texas.

She put the hairless, big eared, large fanged, grayish-blue mammal in her freezer and sent samples to a lab for DNA testing.

The tests have not been concluded at this time.

Neighbors found other 40-pound carcasses in the same area.

Chupacabra means 'goat sucker' in Spanish, and it is said to have originated in Latin America.

GET REAL I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND THEY WERE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING MORE THAN A COYOTE WITH A BAD CASE OF MANGE. I'LL TRY TO GET A PICTURE OF ONE I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL TIMES LATELY. HE'S AT LEAST MORE PHOTOGENIC, HE HAS A TINY BALL OF HAIR ON THE VERY END OF HIS TAIL, NO HAIR ANYWHERE ELSE.

Didn't y'all run this story awhile back? And didn't some biologist say that he was certain that it was a fox with a severe case of the mange? I must admit that it is a little more believable than the "bigfoot" photos y'all posted.
