Thumbs up Chupacabra spotted running the dragon?

*Warning these pictures contain graphic imagery. please proceed with caution.





The following are unedited photographs documenting the first instance of a Chupacabra sighting in North America.































































Can anyone identify the animal photographed here running the dragon positively as a Chupacabra? Do we have a scientist among us?

KiethD managed to spot this "thing" on the dragon moving at almost lightening speed, the agility of this animal defies the laws of physics. We are very lucky to get these photographs, as few photographers have the skill needed to capture an animal such as this, especially at night.

Who are you kidding? I recognized that creature immediately as one of the indigenous 5-toed sloths found along the Atlantic Coast of Florida. Barely moving, sometimes they attempt a 'running' motion to appear more fearsome to their pursuers. Even when placed in motor vehicles, their lack of physical apptitude is apparent. Drivers, they are not

the graininess of the photos must have confused you...

The five toed sloth, also known as the "perezoso boracho" lives in California and is one of the only animals able to survive soley on Tobacco, beer, and tall tales of yesteryear. Although it appears to be a quiet unassuming creature it has a ferocious bite and is often underestimated in terms of skill and agility. The perezoso boracho works itself into an intoxicated frenzy that can be heard barking late into the night. Calls such as "One day in '84..." "Racing?! you don't even know racing!" "When I flipped that Ferrari my dad said..." "Bill Elliot once said to me" are not uncommon, and can be heard for miles.

Here is a rare photograph of the perezoso borocho:



slithering through a turn.

Ah, the dreaded perezoso borocho. It is easily tracked, found usually in the proximity of orange cones, and can be trapped with open beer. It, too, is native to Florida, and can always be found in the East Horseshoe of the Daytona infield.

I'm going to call upon my vast knowledge of creature sightings to say that the subject seems to me to be
more Yeti (aka Sasquatch) than Chupacabra.

Notice the long gait and flailing arms:

I am not sure what it was but at least it didn't cross the double yellow!
