What do you guys think?

It could be a raccoon with mange but idk... I'm no cryptozoologist, or hell, even a regular zoologist.

Since you see it eating in the clip I wanted to check out a video of a raccoon eating to compare it to... so here's a video of a raccoon eating grapes courtesy of youtube.

Oh how fascinating, I wonder what it is?

DIDNT YOU HEAR THE EXPERT COON HUNTER? THAT IS NOT A COON!

[Thrash]

Sure as shit ain't a raccoon.

 

I also disagree that it's a canine, as it is using it's hands to eat the food.

[Princess xR1]

Probably a radioactive rat from Japan.

[Redezra]

Well, we won't know till we do the science. But it's so exciting, isn't it?

[Princess xR1]

Very exciting. Let's raise an army of them.

Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
 
The chupacabra phenomenon first emerged in Puerto Rico in the 1990s.  Unless one were willing to accept the absurd notion that an animal so large could live side by side with human beings in a heavily populated place for hundreds of years without anyone noticing, it's safe to rule out the possibility that it is a "chupacabra."
 
Despite "Bubba's" self-asserted 20 years of experience hunting "coons," I am not willing to accept his expert testimony on what noises raccoons make.  I have had several close encounters with raccoons, and they make a wide variety of noises.  Although I have never heard one growl, nothing in my experience with them suggests that they could not make such a sound if they were so inclined.  So it's probably a raccoon with mange, as mentioned.
 
It also might be a coati, a South American cousin of the raccoon, which have been making their way north for decades and can now be found in Texas.  Again, it would likely be an example with mange.
 

 
One thing it likely is not is a canine, as asserted by the "expert" to whom they spoke.  The animal is shown using its front paw in a hand-like manner, which canines do not do.
 
UPDATE:  Mystery solved. It's a raccoon.

It's a government conspiracy is what it is! 

 

PLEASE OH PLEASE COME TO DISTRACT US FROM CRIMEA AND SYRIA DEAR NEWS PEOPLE, MAKE IT GO AWAY! D:

 

 

Let's pretend they're all Nazis and that the Russians are right about everything!

[Redezra]

silly mangy racoon

[Rogal Dorn]

Haha! I was right!

[Thrash]

wow, I'm surprised.

 

Maybe it's because I'm using to only seeing fat ass raccoons.
