Kentucky Officials Test Chupacabra DNA
December 29th, 2010 - 1:32 am ICT by Angela Kaye MasonDec 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A sample of DNA has been sent by officials in Kentucky in an effort to investigate the possibility of a mysterious animal, thought only to be a legend. The elusive Chupacabra was reported to have been shot and killed by Mark Cothern, who is attempting to prove the existence of this hybrid animal, although many consider Chupacabra and Big Foot to be only folklore.
According to the stories, the Chupacabra only comes out at night to feed, and viciously attacks farm animals. But Laura Higgason of the Humane Society feels that the story is all hype. “It’s a coyote with mange, come on. And of course, this animal is too small to be a coyote, but I saw the photos and it looks like it’s probably a raccoon or an opossum with mange. It’s not a mysterious animal.”
But others maintain, “ A cat’s got retractable claws, and this you can see the claws. The paws are different than a raccoon and it’s definitely not an opossum.” The DNA test will be revealed early in 2011, and perhaps the mystery of the Chupacabra will t last be solved.
