Nope.

That image was debunked a while ago.

If I remember correctly, it was plaster-casted, and painted.

Um..it looks like a rubber dog toy to me :p

A cursory glance at the internet says the image is from some chidlren's book, so I doubt it is real.

painted plaster cast??? damn wtf are there no good credible pic of the chupa on the net??? im starting to get doubts...

Boy oh boy. how many times have we de-bunked that one?

more times than i can count, thats fo' shizzle.

The thing is, If people keep making fake pics there wont be any credible!

Have you ever thought that maybe there's a reason there aren't any legitimate pictures of the chupacabra anywhere? You should always be doubting when dealing with something like the chupacabra. It's better to maintain a healthy skepticism than to blindly believe.

On another note, I remember some footage a news station in Mexico (I think) caught of a shadowy creature slinking off into the underbrush in the background when filming at the site of what had been a chupacabra sighting earlier. The way the shadowy creature moved it apparantly had a very unique physiology. I distinctly remember this, but now I can't find it anywhere. I think it may have been from para-normal.com which is down at the moment. I think that is the most legitimate visual evidence of a chupacabra I have seen yet, and I wish I could give you a link to it.

cool i would like to see that video if u can find that link hope its more crediable then my painted plaster cast lol

Seems to me that this creature could possibly be just another version of the North American "bigfoot" legends..

It just makes me wonder why all of the pics of creatures such as theese are ALWAYS too far away to see clearly, or too fuzzy to make out...

Just leaves a load of unsure people to run around creating images because they want to believe the legends so much that they will do anything to make others believe in hopes to bring that legend to life...

Hill billy been playing with gun powder agian...yeehaw!

Yes! That's the exact video I am talking about. I didn't see the link at Rense, though, if I reemmber correctly. I saw the video and there is most definitely som sort of animal there in the background. I wish I could find a place to download the video from.

When I clicked on the link I thought the thread was supposed to be some sort of joke. No offense, but that picture is so obviously fake it makes me convulse with laughter.

Yeah thats totally fake, they've used the Smudge tool on the second deer, or small mammal on the right to add some sort of wings to it and horns.

the back part of the wings is darker than the background itself.

completely fake. I thought chupacabras has long quills on their back?

That looks like puff the majic dragon.

lol thats what i thaught... lol if the chupa looked like that id be laughing my ass off

I was at a wedding a few weeks ago, and this animal scurried across the road. a few people swore it was a fox, others a groundhog. there was a vote for a rat. an employee of the golfclub said they have groundhogs everywhere, and that's probably what we saw.

my point is that humans can be pretty poor eyewitnesseses, i'd wait for a specimen before saying these exist.

my 2 cents

1st Pic: The 'cast' doesn't need to LOOK fake, You can tell its staged simply by that its 'posing' for the camera.
2nd Pic, (not the video cap one) It looks like a winged-horned-baboon....
Yeah, you can the that THATS a fake because one front leg is overlapping the poll... UNLESS ITS A GHOST CHUPACABRA

it definately looks staged, i doubt something that looked like that and was real would stay still for long and pose for the camera
