Meet the Capacabra! Mummified creature with human-like hands probed by scientists
Shethinks the creature may have entered the building through an air duct, got trapped, and become mummified over time.
She said: 'Mummification happens in very dry environments.
'If it was found next to an air duct, which seems to me like the most accessible point for an animal to get in from the outside, then that would be a pretty regular supply of warm, dry air, especially in the colder months.
'So, to me, that's the most likely explanation.
'And then during the summer, it gets very hot here, and it's humid.
'But if you're protected by a building, and especially in some sort of duct system, then it really would just be dry, hot conditions, which is pretty perfect for mummification.'
