Chupacabras Pictures:Chupacabra Found In Texas
Residents of north Texas are well aware of the Chupacabra legend. After a number of
scares in the region, a Texas State University biologist who tested the supposed
Chupacabra DNA has doubts that the legendary monster is real.
Mike Forstner, the aforementioned biologist, has seen a lot of strange cases before. In
2007, he was called out to test the DNA of a carcass that was found and was believed to
be the mythical Chupacabra. The carcass was discovered in the brush, and raised fears

was actually a coyote, and he believes that the most recent round of testing will yield
similar results.
The belief is that the Chupacabra is living in Hood County, Texas. Two canine-like
animals were killed there this week, and have been sent to the lab for further DNA testing
to ensure that the Chupacabra is not responsible for the deaths.
“All I know is, it wasn’t normal,” Animal Control Officer Frank Hackett, who shot one of
the animals, said. “It was ugly, real ugly. I’m not going to lie on that one.”
In the past, sightings of the supposed Chupacabra have turned out to be a variety of
different animals with diseases; normally they turn out to be coyotes with mange. Claims
of Chupacabra sightings are not uncommon in areas of Texas, where certain species of
dogs and coyotes are a part of everyday life.

Some residents of Hood County, Texas, believe two bizarre beasts killed near Fort Worth
are real-life examples of the legendary "goat suckers" of Latin-American lore.
"I'm not sure on that part. All I know is, it wasn't normal," Animal Control Officer Frank
Hackett told NBC DFW. "It was ugly, real ugly. I'm not going to tell no lie on that one."
Hackett shot and killed the creature inside a barn owned by Jack Farr.
