Anatomically biologists have confirmed that an animal shot by a man in hairless Nelson County, nearly two weeks after Chupacabra.
The animal is actually a raccoon glabrous, officials said the Kentucky Department of Fisheries and Wildlife.
The mythical Chupacabra has a secret since 1995, with sightings in the United States from Texas to Maine. Legend has it that dogs difficult creature, animal attacks, bleeding them dry blood - is his favorite goat.
"It's really a horrible creature. There is simply no other way. Without the skin is a whole new look, what it is," said Steven Dobey biologist.
Wildlife officials in Kentucky have seen the strange creature. In 2007 he was an animal in a cage when he was still alive and was brought to their notice. The similarities are visible.
"The anatomy of the same, the characteristics of the skeleton, overall appearance, particularly of the legs that is released. It is, in fact, a raccoon," Dobey.
Despite the identification, scientists are still studying the animal more, because this kind of interesting animals, without hair more frequently in Kentucky.
"It is not the type to be determined. We know that there is a raccoon, but to determine what is the cause. This is obviously a type of hair loss," said Dobey.
There is itch, the observation chupacabra case in the West who were in the first place was coyotes with mange. In the East have hairless creature a disease of the skin similar to human alopecia.
A biologist was yesterday afternoon on the skin samples for further studies to collect on animals.
For all the attention around the world, took Mark Cothern, the man who shot the raccoon, the animal to a taxidermist for mounting.
Dobey said there are several reasons why can be a hairless animal. The reasons include illness, a kind of shock or trauma or a genetic defect, including viruses by ticks. So far, no comprehensive study required a response to the increasing frequency of animals and eastern Kentucky.
