Dr Phylis Canion is the lady that had the Cuero Chupacabra years ago. I think Texas State University did some research on it. My Dad loaned her a live chicken trap for the documentary they filmed on it a few years ago.
I need to go by her office and see about getting it back. Do you want me to see if she used an independent lab or what her process was?
Can't hurt but I think we are covered....I emailed a few people including one who is connected with the Smithsonian. PM me if you get anything good.
As an aside, what we really want to know is if that 82 pound coyote was a HUGE naturally occurring coyote-wolf hybrid which is the case for most Eastern Coyotes (Coyote x Great Lakes Wolf) or if it was an escaped wolf-dog hybrid that someone intentionally bred and escaped. The fact that it was running with other normal sized coyotes seems to rule out the wolf-dog hybrid. That said, the size is unusually large.
