Video: Chupacabra Trapped and Released?

Submitted by on August 17, 2011 – 5:30 AM15 Comments | 7,619 views


Are we finally witnessing the fabled Chupacabra?

Cheverly, MD is the site of Prince George’s Hospital Center where smokers who must go into nearby brush to get their daily fix started seeing this strange animal during their smoke breaks. They were so intrigued that they baited it in and trapped it.

I think we can all agree that this strange hairless animal does look like the same one that’s been witnessed quite a lot over the past few years. The only problem is, it doesn’t look all that ferocious to me. In fact, this alleged goat sucker looks quite docile and meek. Frankly, it’s almost anticlimactic. Change the tail and it could almost pass for a fawn on a quick glance.

So often we’ve heard horrific tales of this creature stalking farm animals and sucking their blood. Witnesses claiming this is an animal straight from Hell. In fact, you can go down to South America and find people who are terrified to even speak its name.

However, what we seem to have here is a timid cross between a Coyote and a Fox. Why it is hairless is probably the biggest mystery. Whatever it is, there seems to be more and more of them showing up around the US.

Now the biggest question, with such a perfect opportunity to study this hybrid freak of nature, why trap it and then release it? Then again, it seems easily caught so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it caught again.

If I were to be pressed to make an ID, I’d say it’s a hairless Fox, possibly from mange or just some type of Fox offshoot. The only drawback to that is Foxes are not often seen and in fact they keep as much distance between themselves and us as possible.

I guess I’ll leave it up to the GT faithful to decide.

Chain-smoking employees at Prince George’s Hospital Center captured a hideous, hairless creature — a chupacabra, some say — in the woods where the exiled smokers congregate. And then, unbelievably, they let the rare specimen go, depriving it of years of torture at the hands of scientists.

They had spotted the animal — which has drawn comparisons to a deer, dog, rat, kangaroo, and fox — several times near the Cheverly hospital, and last Thursday decided to lure it into a cage with chicken and leftover Chinese food. They named it Prince Chupa, after the legendary chupacabra — Spanish for “goat sucker” — which probably doesn’t exist, but would make the world a more exciting place if it did.

Before a biologist could take a DNA sample, though, these tobacco addicts let the Cheverly Chupacabra go. How unfortunate. It should’ve been donated to the National Zoo, where it would’ve become their most popular exhibit, or at least held until Gawker could get a first-hand look. Those guys are obsessed.

    No. Look at the videotape of that hungry animal trapped outside that Maryland Hospital. Does any part of it look like a human, lizard or wing ? Never could be a Chupacabra !
    How many humans work inside that hospital ? How many of them passed a high school or college BIOLOGY class ? or photography class ? Was anybody there smart enough to take clear photos of that animals feet & teeth ? Does it have sharp, pointy teeth for tearing hide & muscle ? Or are the teeth wide & flat for chewing leaves and twigs ? Does it have 2 hooves on each foot like a deer, goat or cow ? Does it have 1 hoof on each foot like a horse, donkey or “unicorn” ? Does it have paws with claws on each foot like a cat or dog ?
    Sad, bald, mangy fox or coyote. Ron7

    Lindsay,

    As much as I appreciate your picture, I have to disagree. This is not a Mexican Hairless dog. The tail alone is twice the length it should be, not to mention other glaring differences.

    I recommend you take another close look at the video.

    Keep trying though! That’s what makes GT great!

    the only thing unusual about that thing is the tail.

    i’m with mike

    If I didn’t know better I’d have to say Mike is in the running with his ID. Although from what I see here, they are not completely hairless and in fact seem to have an extremely short but complete coat of hair. That is unless it’s an optical illusion. Then again, add some mange and it’s almost a dead ringer.

    National Geographic says this:

    Perry Sumner, a biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, said it’s likely a red fox with a rare genetic condition known as Sampson, an abnormality in which the animal lacks a layer of fur called guard hair.

    If I were to guess at the number of pics and video of similar animals all over the country, I’d have to say “Samson” is becoming rampant. Are we poisoning our Foxes?

    I just can’t see why a Fox would be viewed so many times. As I said, they tend to stay away from humans.

    I’m going to stay with my original stand of it being a Fox.

  • Lindsay

    it’s like i said. these “cryptoids” people are finding is just the boy who cried wolf. if in fact anyone ever does find out..no one will believe them

  • Henry

    I have to go with fox and sarcoptic mange.

  • Nicole

    I just did a quick search and think it could be a red fox that has a rare genetic disorder named Sampson. http://inevitavelinsatisfacao.blogspot.com/2011/05/sampson-fox-found-near-amareleja.html

  • http://www.ghosttheory.com Scott McMan

    That’s already been mentioned Nicole but keep it up!

    We need all the investigators we can get at GT.

  • Lisa

    I’ll never understand how these poor creatures ever got labeled “chupacabra” in the first place, since they look nothing at all like the legend’s/cryptid’s original description.

  • Jeff

    i’m just happy that the workers let the poor thing go rather than turn it over to god knows who to do god knows what to it.

  • PRINCE CHUPA

    ahhhhh lindsay, tail is not the only unique feature; it has five claws on both front paws; fox, coyote … have four; i have the video and pics of it
