SAN ANTONIO, TX (KOLD) - The video link to the right just may be evidence of the real mythological creature -- the Chupacabra.

The word "Chupacabra" is Spanish for goat sucker but according to legend, these dodgy creatures feed on more than goats.

According to folklore, the Chupacabra also feeds on livestock as well.

Taxidermist Jerry Ayer says he's never seen anything like this before. He says one of his students found it.

"It got into his cousin's barn and they thought maybe it was a rodent tearing stuff up, and they no idea since they've never seen it," Ayers said. "He got out some poison and this is what they got the next day."

Although the features of this animal are similar to a dog or a coyote's, its leathery skin is unlike anything native to Texas.

The taxidermist plans to donate the remains to a museum.
