Once a year or so one of these stories comes out where someone gets a video or picture of some poor animal with mange. It is labeled a chupacabra by the taker of the photo or video and then some expert says that's not a chupacabra that is a dog/coyote/fox with mange. Why does no one suggest the obvious? The chupacabra is a wild animal in the dog family with mange. Somebody saw a strange looking animal attacking his chickens and the legend was born. In other words these animals are chupacabras because chupacabras are dogs/coyotes/foxes with mange.
