Measurements and location would help.
I have not seen it, but we can estimate, based on the boards. My deck boards are 6 inches wide. If these are the same, then the animal is about the size of a raccoon or cat.
El Chupacabra? An opossum maybe?
If that is in the US, which by the boat registration in another photo in the album, it appears to be, that is probably a Virginia Opossum.

I got a bit more information. It is from near Sonora, in Tuolumne County, California.
Opossum wins. I guess chupacabras are actually opossums.
