CUERO, Texas—A sheriff’s office in Dewit County says it may have caught the legendary Chupacabra on camera.
Dewitt County deputies on patrol say they recorded the animal near the small town of Cuero. It is located near San Antonio.
The dashboard video shows the animal running down a dirt road.

Is this the legendary Chupacabra?
The deputy reportedly described it as hairless creature with a long snout, short front legs and long back legs.
Deputies say that these types of sightings don’t happen often.
“I’ve been covering these back roads for a long time and I’ve never run across
anything like this, until that day,” said Deputy Brandon Riedel.
Last year, a similar creature was found dead in Cuero.
It was first believed to be a Chupacabra, but DNA testing showed it was some sort of coyote.
