'Spooky' Mystery Animal Sighting Baffles News Anchors: 'Could Be a Chupacabra'

A resident of Pueblo, Colorado, sent in footage of a 'terrifying' creature to KKTV 11 News

A viewer-submitted video left news anchors in Colorado confused and a little frightened.

During an April 7 newscast, three KKTV 11 News anchors looked at a video of a mystery animal sighting sent in by a resident of Pueblo, Colo.

"We have something spooky," weekend anchor Grace Kraemer tells the two others during the newscast before playing a video of the "terrifying" creature.

The clip shows an animal with patchy black fur, a red face, and long, thin arms, seemingly eating something off the ground.

"What is that?" the other anchors exclaim before Kraemer shares more "fun little details" about the animal encounter.

According to Kraemer, the woman who sent in the clip has no idea what the "little creature" is and has seen it once before during the day.

Kraemer then opens the floor to guesses about the animal's identity. One anchor believes the critter could be a badger, while the other jokes it 'could be a Chupacabra.'

After the anchors make a few more guesses, Kraemer admits the woman who sent in the clip also posted the footage on Facebook, where Kraemer checked the comments and found "some good guesses."

Wolverine, opossum, and raccoon are among the guesses that impressed the anchor.

The anchors end the segment still baffled by what the mystery animal could be and eager for more footage of the creature.

According to UPI, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) officials also reviewed the footage and believe the animal could be a raccoon with mange. Mange is a skin condition caused by parasitic mites that can lead to hair loss.

"It's tough to be 100% sure, but the use of the front paws and the size makes us think it's a raccoon," the CPW told KOAA-TV.
