OK, OK, I don't really know if it is chupacabra. ;-)

Nothing to reference the overall size,
but it looks very much like a horse
(or mule, donkey). The Spinous process
in equine vertebrae are monsterously long
(the single bone structure that sticks "up"
toward the horse's back, or "back" in a
human or other upright animal).

It hasn't been there very long. If it were,
the ribs would have been separated from the
spine. They "connect" only via cartilage,
as do nearly every bone, including the vertebrae.
The cartilage will dry and decompose, or get
eaten by scavengers, pretty quickly compared
to the rest of the skeleton.

The two closest vertebrae look very much like
a horse atlas and axis (1st and 2nd cervical vert).

Perhaps the Greys have gone from cattle mutilations
to horse mutilations.
