We have all heard about the mysterious Texas sightings of an unusual creature,often called a chupacabra. Now, it's has been found roaming the countryside in Oklahoma.
And this time, the creature was caught alive.
The hairless, scared-looking critter was captured on a Oklahoma man's back porch.
The wrinkly, baldanimal was spotted by several people wandering around the countryside before it was caught. Itis now nicknamed the Dry Gulch Chupacabra, and Kojak .
There have been similar findings in recent years in Texas.Each time, many havebelieved the mystery crittersto be one of those legendary, blood-sucking chupacabras.
But experts have been quick to disagree, asKENS5 reporters have documented in the past.
The Dry Gulch Chupacabra was taken to a wildlife animal rescue center, where animal caretakers had to take a much closer look to figure out what she really is.
At first, someone thought she was a baby wallaby, but upon closer inspection they determined the animal was actually a raccoon.
Animal caretakers said the raccoon has an advanced case of mange, but will eventually grow its hair back and look like a normal raccoon.
And so, the mystery is solved...this time!
