Hunters in San Carlos, Arizona have found the carcass of an unidentified beast with elongated fangs and possible wings.
The carcass resembles that of a domestic cat, but with several noticeable differences. The animal is described as “sabertoothed” because it’s incisor teeth are elongated into fangs, the front limbs of the creature are also longer than an ordinary cat’s legs and appear to have an extra joint giving the appearance of large feet. Even more bizarrely the carcass reveals evidence of possible wings protruding from the animal’s back.
The carcass was found by two hunters in a remote area near San Carlos, they passed the remains on to Jess Underberg from Globe, AZ. who is hoping to try and identify the strange looking beast.
The long fangs and elongated front limbs are characteristic of descriptions given of the infamous “goat sucker” or chupacabras. However most chupacabras sightings are dismissed as coyotes with mange, not felines with wings.

With the elongated neck, larger fore-limbs and huge teeth, I think it resembles a hyena more than a feline. Could the remnants of wings be bristles on its shoulders?

I’m going to say its just a large feline. I’ve seen domesticated cats of both genders that are as large as medium bobcats, and many of these were ‘deformed’, meaning they’re bodies were misshapen; necks, tails, heads, ears, legs, paws, back and eyes that were odd sizes for the animal. As for the large teeth, I have a house cat (average size) that has very large incisor teeth. In my unprofessional opinion is a run-of-the-mill house cat.
