Humpday Afternoon Diversion: This is Not a Chupacabra

The Cupacabra has reached the status of the Yeti, the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot in the pantheon of natural myths. This is not a chupacabra and we want to know why the people who put so much effort in trapping this animal didn't think to take it to a vet to find out exactly what it is.

But they called NBC, though.
