Ep. 194: C is for Chupacabra (Tell We Tale!)
Episode description
Is it a strange breed of hairless, underground coyote? A reptilian alien with fur? The Jersey Devil far from home? Or is it the infamous chupacabra? This week, the girls are back from their holiday break, and Katy tells Hannah about the southern goat-sucker that’s been terrorizing livestock for (surprisingly) not that long. They talk about the various sightings, as well as its various forms, what could really be bleeding goats and cows dry (spoiler alert: science), and why you should not refrigerate bones.
We hope everyone had a safe happy New Year, and are recovering from their holiday festivities. Pour whatever kind of drink/hydration you need, and join us for this Tell We Tale Creature Feature!
