Hello Art, 

Derik Lattig in San Antonio here. I thought  you would want to know
that my TV station has obtained photos of a chupacabra captured in 
a trap just south of San Antonio.  A rancher  took photos of the 
beast and brought them to us.  He claims there were three, one in 
the trap and two others jumping up and down and they ran when he 
approached.  I'll try my best to describe the photos for you.  

The creature is about as long as a human leg, pasty white and has 
ridges on its back like a Dragon.  It has two front legs and two 
rear legs and at the end of each two tiny offshoots that I would 
not call fingers, but I wouldn't call them paws either, almost 
claw looking.  You can see teeth on the thing which is draped 
across the ground in an arch.

The farmer says "some men" saw him showing the creature and took 
it saying they would have it stuffed.  He claims to know where 
the body is and we are investigating it.  I'll be happy to send 
you a copy of our story if you'd like it or send you video of 
the polaroid pictures.  Contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx tomorrow 
afternoon.  

I thought you'd want this info for your show this morning 
though.  Yours in News Derik Lattig.
