A bizarre beast said to combine the characteristics of a kangaroo, dog, rat and deer was captured last week by workers at Prince George’s Hospital Center in Maryland near Washington, D.C.
Technicians on a smoke break wandered near a wooded area and found the strange, nearly hairless animal. The workers took cellphone videos of the beast, and eventually lured it into a cage with Chinese food as bait. Local news reporters interviewed the hospital workers, who offered a variety of opinions about the beast’s identity. “It’s a kangaroo, dog, rat mixed,” X-ray technician Joe Livermore told the local NBC news. “It’s got a rat tail and a head like a deer. I don’t know what it is.”
The shy animal was dubbed “Prince Chupa” after the mysterious vampire chupacabra, and already some are wondering if the bloodsucker has finally been captured alive. The chupacabra dates back to 1995, when an eyewitness sighted the monster in Puerto Rico. In my book, “Tracking the Chupacabra,” I provide evidence showing that the original chupacabra report described a monster in a science fiction film, and most likely no beast ever existed. Since then, no hard evidence of the chupacabra has emerged, and the myth has been kept alive by occasional reports of animals identical to Prince Chupa. So it’s not a chupacabra: but what is it?
