its real, it is part of the canine family. I believe its the destruction of habitat and human activity destroying is causeing animals to cross breed that are not meant to, creating "mutants" if you will. or a speacies thats inbred for so long it pops out a mutant, and the mutant breeds creating what you see. and to who ever says its not chupacabra, open your mind. until we have better proof this could vary well be the creature that we seek. and so far it is until we descover another creature we cannot identify.
