OK, I apologize for going heavy on non-sports posts the last few days but this is super f@#$ing important cryptozoological breaking news that just happened to hit during Sandwich Week:
An animal control officer in Hood County, Texas, may have killed a Chupacabra this week. Well, he definitely killed something, and it may have been a Chupacabra, the elusive goatsucker that’s been terrorizing Texans and Mexicans for years.
And that’s not all! Another Chupacabra was shot just a few miles away by a rancher this same week.
Also, Chupacabras apparently look a lot like really ugly dogs, like maybe dogs with some sort of disease or something. And in fact, a witness described the supposed Chupacabra as acting “like the neighbor’s dog.”
So, you know, good thing they shot it. Gotta play it safe with friendly animals no one’s ever seen before. Sure, he’s cozying up to you now, bringing you the ball and begging you to play, but next thing you know that little bastard’s going to be draining your goat’s blood.
Luckily, Texas scientists are doing DNA tests on the dead carcasses to determine if they were actually Chupacabras. Because, you know, we have some way to identify Chupacabra DNA.
Watch the video. Also note that if you click “Playlist” you’ll find an entire playlist devoted to wacky animal stories, which means the chances of me getting anything done today just plummeted. “Wayward moose ransacks grocery store.”

Did you see the chupacabra episode of “Is It Real” on the National Geographic Channel? All I remember about it was 40 minutes of Mexican villagers saying a dead animal they found was a chupacabra, followed by a scientist saying “it’s not a chupacabra.”
The chick in the moose video is smokin’ hot. Yeah Norway. Fjords, salmon, and hot shopkeepers.
Ted, sorry to be a pedant, but I think the singular of chupacabras is also chupacabras, because it is a sucker-of-goats rather than a goat-sucker.
Pedantry is welcome here. But while chupacabras is the original word, the wikipedia says it can go either way:
It is known as both chupacabras and chupacabra throughout the Americas, with the former being the original word,[1] and the latter a regularization of it. The name in Spanish can be preceded by singular masculine article (el chupacabras), or the plural masculine article (los chupacabras).
Damn, I should have gone to the font of knowledge before I started playing language pedant! I only said that because I had been picked up on it before in Mexico. But yes, if it’s become Americanised to that extent then it makes sense to just drop the s to make it singular. Sorry!
