(CNN) - Rocky Vincent looks for golf balls on the job at the club at Runaway Bay Golf Course. He saw something on the course he will never forget.
"It was like a shaved weenie dog, with raccoon feet, a possum tail and a possum head," said Vincent. "[It had] been inbred way too many times or something."
Pictures show a hairless, dead animal with odd limbs and feet and sharp teeth. Could it be the legendary Chupacabra or "goat sucker?"
He saw the dead animal lying in the back of the driving range near a wooded area. It was not very big. John Ward, Ft. Worth zoo expert, saw the photos.
"I couldn't say if it was a coyote or just a stray dog," said Ward. "But it looks like it's got some sort of skin condition - mange. Looks a little swollen, and it doesn't have a lick of hair on it."
Cody Caraway is another golf course employee who after looking at the pictures on a friend's Facebook page does not think the animal is a coyote.
"If you look at the claws on it and the feet, there's nothing like it," said Caraway. "I've never seen anything like it."
And so, the legend lives on.
