Two 'Chupacabras' Killed in DeWitt County, Texas

A group of friends spotted two possible chupacabras Saturday morning in Terryville in DeWitt County.

Paul Jones’ grandfather detected the creature on the family land a couple weeks ago. When his grandson and friends came to mow in preparation for deer season, Brian Wilborn, an equipment operator from Victoria, saw it again.

Jones, a mechanic from Victoria, shot the first animal at 3:45 p.m. after Victorians Wilborn, Jason Marburger and Cannon Simons, a mechanic, searched for hours.

“It kind of looks like a mangy coyote to me,” Jones said. “It might be a chupacabra, I don’t know.”

About four hours later, they shot and killed a second one, about 10 yards from where the first one was shot, Simons said.

Jones doesn’t really believe in the legend, but the two look like the rest of the chupacabra pictures he’s seen.

Marburger, an oilfield pipeline worker, doesn’t think the animals match anything native from the area.

“I’ve seen pictures of coyotes. It doesn’t look like any coyote or mixed breed I have ever seen,” he said. “It looks like it ain’t from around here.”

Who knows what’s next for the chupacabras. The friends joked about stuffing them and selling them on eBay.com.
