just saw this wierd creature captured in saudi arabia, page 1

The honey badger (Mellivora capensis), also known as the ratel, is a monotypic species of mustelid native to Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. Despite its name, the honey badger does not closely resemble other badger species, instead bearing more anatomical similarities to weasels. It is classed as Least Concern by the IUCN due to its extensive range and general environmental adaptations. It is a primarily carnivorous species, and has few natural predators due to its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities.

Look Familiar?

Personal Disclosure: I find it INCREDIBLY strange that a native animal to that area.... isn't recognized by the native human population.

Fact or Faked on SyFy examined that animal in the lady's freezer and got a DNA test. They said it was a mix between a wolf and a coyote. Looks like it didnt go so well.

Yea, I guess nature can't all be magnificent!

It seems that mutation kind of took though, huh? It appears these things are successfully breeding? The animal sure looks like other pics including the one in the OP vid.

Most of the videos and pictures look like a Xoloitzcuintli, from the tail, ear size and positioning of body hair, they do come in different shapes and sizes (and amounts of body hair), my dog looks similar to some of the alleged sightings....apart from the size of the b***s in the first video :-o

Besides,the legendary Chupacabra has been evading capture for years, so if it was caught and/or killed, it would be buried at sea within a few hours

Please do some research before you make guesses. Then you will realize that there is absolutely no possibility that the chupacabra is some mangy coyote, dog or badger. This creature sucks all the blood from its victim.

That's not to deny that people sometimes mistake wild dogs, etc for the chupacabra. That is because they are ignorant of the reported facts surrounding it.
