You can tell it's a New Mexican chupacabra, because
it reeks of green chilis.

A bizarre creature found on Albuquerque's West Mesa wasn't the chupacabra, the
Department of Game and Fish said, but it was something that isn't often seen in
New Mexico: an ocean skate.
Some people thought the creature was the chupacabra, a legendary creature also
called the "goat sucker."
Construction worker Robert Wheeler said a friend of his found it four years ago
on the West Mesa.
Game and Fish employee Marlene Bernal said she saw the creature in someone's
home.
"She had it a bedroom locked up and I said, 'What are you doing with it locked
up?' " Bernal said. "And she said, 'I've never seen anything like it in my life.
' "
Bernal said she noticed the creature had gills, so she and her husband thought
it could be a fish they didn't know about.
The woman then brought the creature to Game and Fish to be identified.
"There were about six officers here and they took a good hour and a half looking
at it and studying it," said Bernal.
At first, the department identified the creature as a stingray, but later found
it was an ocean skate.
Albuquerque Aquarium manager Holly Casman said stingrays and ocean skates are
similar, but ocean skates have wider tails than stingrays.
Camain said the creature looks so different because a fisherman cut most of the
meat off.
It's not clear why the creature ended up on the West Mesa, but one theory says
someone either caught it or bought it and dumped it on the mesa.

My theory is that a good ol boy just wanted to be on the tee vee, so he
bought one pre cut at a curio shop when he was down in Mexico and made
the whole story up.

It was in today's paper. It has been identified as a skate with part of
its wings removed, either for food or intentionally to scare the
gullible. Those who examined it said that the part of the wings removed
were the most edible part. There is a much better picture in the
Albuquerque journal.

So that bit about reanimating it with a flask of
blood from a virgin was just a rumor, huh?
I figured they'd chicken out.
