The hairless beast was trapped by hunters in Sichuan province after locals reported spotting what they thought was a bear.
One hunter, Lu Chin, said: “It looks a bit like a bear but it doesn’t have any fur and it has a tail like a kangaroo.
“It also does not sound like a bear — it has a voice like a cat and it is calling all the time — perhaps it is looking for the rest of its kind or maybe it's the last one.
"There are local legends of a bear that used to be a man and some people think that’s what we caught," he added.
Now stumped local animal experts have shipped the mystery beast to scientists in Beijing for DNA tests.

it's probably sick or shaved civet
Any way it is a poor creature.... A sore sight to see.
:'( :(
I feel for the little Chupacabra there. First it has suffered with what most likely is a skin ailment for who know how long and now it will spend the rest of its life being poked and prodded and live in a small cage (or at least captivity).

Here- just stick it in this little wire cage. He'll be alright.
Yeah because simply following it in the wild with a camera and a notepad is so old and busted; we're bound to learn more now that it's in a cage. basstards.

Poor thing. If it's an animal that has lost its hair due to illness, I hope they get it the medical treatment it needs, then put it back in the wild.
