Man this is freakin me out - I seriously want to know what that thing is meek - you don't think it's in that marten/fisher family?

SDC, what is that thing?

That is something that the woman who's holding it claims is a "chupacabra"; she found it hit by a vehicle on the road near her property in Texas a couple of weeks ago, and she saved the head for DNA analysis; maybe it's a new species? It's nasty-looking, whatever it is. There's a story on it here: http://www.khou.com/topstories/stori....cbe0f7fc.html

THAT was a really creepy creature, that south Texas thing, but the one we saw looked nothing like it, not at all as wormy looking. Ms. Meek and I have been carrying the camera on our drives past the place we saw it so sooner or later we'll get a photo. Just a matter of time.

No, FF, its tail looks more like a mountain lions tail instead of a martin/fisher tail. Like I say, sooner or later we'll get a photo.
