Are there any other animals in North America that uses its front paws to feed like that?

I'm leaning towards a raccoon myself.

I think it might be a bald ring-tailed cat, being it's Texas.

Poor thing is rather pathetic looking without hair, so who knows.

Opossum do as well, but that thing is bigger than an opossum.

I guess you know more than a wildlife biologist. I prefer to claim I am a marine biologist because what are the odds a beached will have a golf ball stuck in its blowhole?

ever see a dog eat with with hits paws/hands like a my excellent compatriot?

Looks like a my excellent compatriot with some faulty DNA. The mannerisms are a dead match though.

Doesn't look even remotely canine/canid to me, I'm surprised to hear others say it could be a dog or a fox.

It's the same thing all 'chupacabras' are. A diseased animal. Coyotes with mange are the most common. I'm no zoologist, but the thing above seems to jive with 'raccoon,' or some other similarly-shaped forest critter.

All other aspects of the chupacabra myth can be explained by a Puerto Rican seeing the movie 'Species.' Everyone knows this.

Feel a bit sorry for the little guy myself, but they seem to be feeding him well at least.

It's obviously a raccoon. The slightest bit of research would reveal it even if you didn't recognize it. Why don't reporters do any research?
