(Original headline: Possible Chupacabra Sighting )
Another mystery beast has surfaced in South Texas, and some say it might be a chupacabra.
The first one surfaced in Elmendorf last year. Now, one man in Luling, east of San Antonio, tells News 4 WOAI he caught a mysterious beast on video tape.
Chris Coble says he and a friend were driving and saw the creature peer out from behind a bush.
“We were driving down the road and he'd seen it, probably about 30 yards off the road,” Coble said of his friend. They were in a wooded area up near Luling.
“It was three foot tall, hairless, long, and had like a hunch back,” Coble said.
He brought the videotape to News 4 WOAI. On videotape, the animal looks like it could be a dog or coyote, but Coble says it could be a chupacabra.
A rancher in Elmendorf claimed last year he found a mystery beast on his property. That animal was sent away for DNA testing.
News 4 WOAI went to wildlife experts about the newest claim about the animal in Luling.
“I really don't think it is a chupacabra,” Tiffany Soecthing with Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife Ranch said of Coble’s creature. “I would lean towards a dog that has a hair problem.”
Soeching said she has seen animals like it before and Coble’s "beast" looks like a wolf hybrid.
