ZOMG!!

It's a REAL LIFE CHUPACABRA!! LOLZ!

Some Minnesota residents are sure they've found themselves a genuine mythical creature.

We don't believe it because we don't believe in Chupacabras watch True Blood we know that stuff only happens in Louisiana.

This creepy piece of roadkill kinda looks like a dog to us. But on a closer inspection we saw his badger-like claws and random tuffs of dark hair scattered around his white body and have to agree the animal is a little mysterious!

Chupacabras, or "goat suckers," are described as something between a dog and a wolf, reportedly kill and suck the blood out of livestock.

We thin this might just be a carzy nastyass honey badger / dog half breed!

See a take a closer look at the roadkill below.

It's being called the longest journey a mountain lion has ever taken in the United States!

A cougar killed in Milford, CT, six weeks ago traveled 1,100 miles from South Dakota to get to New England, Connecticut officials said Tuesday.

According to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, collected analyst data shows that the feline known in South Dakota known as the "St. Croix Cougar” journeyed from that state’s Black Hills, through Minnesota and Wisconsin (see attached map) and across the Midwest—likely southern Ontario, Canada— to Greenwich — and all the way to Milford!

Though the first confirmed sighting occurred in Minnesota, officials believe the mountain lion likely was born in South Dakota, meaning a total distance traveled of closer to 1,800 miles before he made it to Milford and was hit by an SUV.

If they make a Disney movie about him, they'll probs take that last part out.

The price for dec guard dog is c.r.a.z.y!

Moguls and celebrities now routinely pay $40,000 to $60,000 for a well-bred German shepherd that is certified as an expert in the sport of Schutzhund, which means “protection dog.”

The price can go much higher if a dog does well at an international championship.

Julia, a 3-year-old German shepherd, was sold by a trainer, Harrison Prather, and purchased by John Johnson for $230,000.

John has absolutely zero buyers remorse! According to him:

“She’s a top deal. She’s won awards. She looks at you, she’s got the most beautiful face. It’s the speed, the smartness, the quickness — and you would not believe the roughness that she has inside. She’s like a little pit bull when she bites. She has that model face, and then opens the gums up and lets you have it.”

Mr. Johnson said he got his first protection dog after receiving personal threats while he was running the Northland Group, a debt-collection company in Minnesota that he founded and eventually sold three years ago.

It's seem the price for protection can only be as high as those needing it.
