Neurognosis
Science in general will be the majority of my work here but much focus will be on neuroscience, psychology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, and palaeoanthropology. There will also be ample dose of personal adventures and trials posted.

...and the results are in!
I'm not really one to toot my own horn but I did make a post a bit ago saying that the results of the DNA testing from the "chupacabras" in Cuero would come back with the genus of Canis.
Well, it seems I was right. Texas State University biologists examined the DNA and found it to be nearly identical to that of a coyote (Canis latrans). So there ya have it folks - coyote. Now the next question to be answered is why the hair loss? Was it from a disease? Was it a postmortem development? With three of the coyotes being found in the same area and all looking that way, it was most likely a disease of some sort the poor creatures had. Anyhow, I bet there will be some who won't let it go. They don't want the fame, the mystery, the publicity to fade. Sorry Cuero, you just have a few dead Texas coyotes. 1 comments from 1 users
