Check out Bas Rutten's Liver Shot on MMA Surge: http://bit.ly/MMASurgeEp1 Prince George's Hospital Center workers in Maryland have adopted a mythical creature as their new mascot. The creature has been spotted in the woods where smokers take breaks since the hospital banned smoking June 1, but no one knows what the animal is, so they've named it Prince Chupa, after chupacabra — the legendary cryptid rumored to exist in parts of the Americas and suck the blood of livestock. "It's a kangaroo, dog, rat mixed," X-ray technician Joe Livermore said. "It's got a rat tail and a head like a deer. I don't know what it is." "So we decided to trap it," Livermore said. Last week, Livermore lured the animal with chicken and leftover Chinese food and caged it briefly to get a closer look. After some close-ups, the animal was released. A Maryland Department of Natural Resources official identified it as a fox with mange. "Mange affects a portion of most wild fox populations and is often unpleasant to observe but not something to be otherwise alarmed about or requiring additional human intervention." Mange is described as a skin disease in mammals caused by the mange mite. Some of the symptoms include hair loss, skin wrinkling and formation of scabs. DNR's Game Program Manager Peter Jayne added that while humans can get mange from coming in contact with infected animals, such cases are rare. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44159491/ns/today-today_pets_and_animals/t/new-chupacabra-mystery-animal-confounds/ http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/video/chupacabra-caught-in-maryland-14325368 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2027468/Is-THIS-legendary-Chupacabra-Hospital-staff-believe-mascot-fabled-creature.html http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/17/national/main20093609.shtml
