Chupacabra or mangy mutt?

Hide your goats and lock up your chickens, there’s a chupacabra on the loose! Well that’s what some Wisconsin resident’s are saying about the mysterious creature found in Juneau County Monday, July 21.

According to Channel 3000, highway worker Jeff Potter came across the dead animal on the side of Highway 71 in the city of Elroy. With its leathery hairless skin and odd features, it’s easy to see how the identity of the animal has been hard to pinpoint, even for researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

For now, the experts are leaning towards the creature being a severely mangled fox or raccoon, but until tests are run they won’t know for sure. To see pictures and a video of the animal checkout Channel 3000’s story.
