A Houston man says paw prints along the Buffalo Bayou in the Memorial
area are just one piece of evidence to prove he's spotted the mythical
creature known as the Chupacabra. He says he also has the pictures to
support his claim. Scott Black's neighbor, David McKee, snapped several
photos of the animal last Sunday in the back yard of the Doliver Point
gated community.
It was the third sighting of the animal in just the past 11 days. "It
had big, long, pointy ears. Long tail, had no fur," said Black, "but on
its skin you could see splotches of grey and splotches of raw skin."
Black has seen the animal four times in all - each instance right
outside his back door. After seeing the photos, a trapper from Ohio
visited, then sent Black a cage to try and capture it.
Animal control expert Claude Griffin, has now been brought in to to
assess the situation. Griffin said while many will pass off the animal
as a coyote, the physical characteristics appear to be a possible
combination of several canine species - from a coyote, to a domesticated
breed, to a dingo.
Griffin said he's seen it before in the Houston area, which has a higher number of exotic pet owners than many people realize.
"People are actually inbreeding the animals and letting them go,
and actually going out there and claiming that they're catching them,"
said Griffin. "So they are practicing the perfection of inbreeding."
