The Chupacabra, which literally translates as Goat Sucker, has taken on legendary status akin to Bigfoot in Latino circles. The mysterious animal has even appeared in books and films including Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico. It has previously been sighted as far south as Chile and Argentina and as far north as the US state of Maine, and similar animals have been described in Russia and the Philippines.
The latest sighting took place in the town of Cuero, Texas, and was caught on a dashboard-mounted camera by deputy sheriff Brandon Riedel and his officer Ellie Carter. Carter stated: "We were checking fences when this thing jumped out at us. I shouted: 'It's a chupacabra!' I recognised it instantly from TV. It had big teeth, a big head, short legs in the front and long legs in back."
In August last year, a chupacabra was blamed for the deaths of around 30 chickens on a nearby farm. The animals were found drained of blood with two puncture marks in their otherwise uninjured bodies. The farm's owner, Phylis Canion, claimed to have discovered the carcasses of three strange animals, one of which she preserved in her freezer before handing it over for DNA analysis.
Texan scientists who investigated the case said the animal was likely to be a coyote, potentially crossed with a grey fox.

If you watch the enhanced video where it is running, there's a moment when it looks to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left...
-oh sorry, and they pause it when its zoomed in. Its head looks too long to be a coyote, fox or a dog.
Freaky.

That looks too much like a dog to be a Chupacabra. The Chupacabra is more reptilian.
