I've got to say, of all the wild Crypto animal stories, this one has the most obvious explanation. All of these carcasses are so clearly coyote's or some other dog with mange. Mangey dogs can look really really creepy, especially after they've been dead a few days.

I'll never forget seeing a fox with mange while visiting my grandfather's grave. My mom was convinced it was a hairless chihuahua that was lost and kept trying to call it and get it in the car while I watched cracking up as she chased that demented looking critter all around the cemetery. Mangey animals can look like just about anything but what they really are.

As for El Chupacabra, I'm pretty sure the real one is my mother-in-law, and let me tell you- it is flippin' scary!
