    It is actually a red fox that had sarcopic mange (Mange caused by scabis)

    The snout doesn't look like the red fox that lives around my house. But then again, I haven't got a real good look at him.

    The Sarcopic Mange is a real bad reaction/allergy to the scabis mite. I have seen dogs look like that as well. It makes the skin look puffy and "blue" in color. A Texas DNR officer identified the "Chupacabra" as a Red Fox (NOT REDD FOX) and it was also identified thru DNA. Funny, this was settled all last month. Now it appears again.

    But, are they good eating, and does anyone have any recipes for them. That's what I want to know. I'm thinking of a big bowl of "Chili con Chupacabra" might go down real nice on a cool fall day.
