I heard, and X-filex confirmed, that chupacabra is really a mutation/transformation caused by exposure to an extraterrestrial pathogen, or microbe. Perhaps these "mange mites" burrow much more deeply than beneath the skin. Maybe, like the Ceti Eels (ST2:TWOK) they burrow into the brain, and the host organism is then powerless, and spends the remainder of its miserable existence scavenging for roadkill and taking down small farm animals.

That does seem like the most likely explanation.

And this differs from the ordinary life of a coyote how?

I had no idea the chupacabra was so recent!

This article was awesome for the unexpected pairing of two words: wombat chupacabra. Win.
