Want to see a _real_ chupacabra? Meet the male Musk deer, a dog-sized

Bad doggy. :-)


Pat, here's the jar- *you* go milk that gland.


First time I saw that critter, I'd never heard of a chupacabra. I
thought a deer with fangs was one very odd creature indeed, ranking
right up there with the dread mythical Jackalope in unlikelyness.
It looks like something a taxidermist would invent out of some leftover
parts.
