CHILE IN 2004

Strange things seem to have been on the wing in Chile in 2004.  Near Arica the de la Torre family, driving at night, encountered dog-faced kangaroo like creatures that could fly.  Meanwhile two dog-faced winged creatures attacked one Juan Acuna in the same year.  One of the beasts was large, the other small.  They were very strong.  Local official Ricardo Encins said Acuna's wounds were genuine.

Were these the same kind of animal?  The description of the animals that attacked Acuna did not include kangaroolity, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.  Could these creatures be in any way related to the Jersey Devil?  I found no mention of horns.  We shall just have to await further reports of such creatures.
