The discovery of the corpse of a bizarre hairless canine creature dubbed the Lufkin beast has caused speculation that it may be the mythical Chupacabra or Goatsucker.
However all bizarre looking the creature is unlikely to be a new species. A more probable explanantion would be that it is a coyote from a particularly inbred pack that has caught some mange-like disease.
Never mind though as the hobbit-like new species of human is a true scientific discovery that eclipses the importance of the Lufkin beast.
