Couple find mythical creature in their back garden

A couple claim they found a mythical creature in their back garden.

''[Bubba] called me to come and look, and I said 'Bubba that looks like a baby chupacabra'.''

Bubba and Jackie Stock, from Texas in the southern United States, captured the hairless beast on their property and are convinced it is a chupacabra - a creature of folklore which is known for sucking the blood out of livestock.

Jackie told WMUR: ''[Bubba] called me to come and look, and I said 'Bubba that looks like a baby chupacabra'.''

Neighbour Arlen Parma added: ''I hunted racoons for 20 years with dogs and I ain't ever seen anything that looks like that right there.''

A wildlife expert has since told the news station that the animal is more likely to be a dog, fox or coyote with a disease known as mange.
