El Chupacabra: Blood sucking dog

 Several researchers investigating UFO sightings in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s received reports from local residents of strange dog-like creatures that frequently attack and suck the blood of livestock. In March 1995, it was stated that eight sheep were found dead with 3 stab wounds to each chest. Not only that, all the livestock were also found in a state of blood that had run out.

In 1975, it was actually also reported the killing of similar livestock in the small town of Moca. The killer creature is called El Vampiro de Moca. Vampire from Moca.

These livestock killings were initially suspected by satanists. However, the killings continued to occur throughout Puerto Rico and spread to the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Panama, the United States to Mexico. This shows that the perpetrators are not Satanists.

The term Chupacabra was first used by a Puerto Rican comedian named Silverio Perez. He refers to the Spanish word Chupar which means to suck and cabra which means goat. The name came because the cattle that were killed and sucked for blood were mostly goats.

In July 2004, a rancher in San Antonio, Texas reported a dog-like creature attacking his livestock. He called the killer "Elmendorf's Creature". However, DNA analysis conducted by the University of California concluded that the animal was a coyote (stray dog) with severe ringworm disease.

In Coleman, Texas, a rancher named Reggie Lagow saw an animal attack his livestock, and he said it resembled a hairless dog, rat and kangaroo mix.

In April 2006, MosNews reported that the Chupacabra was seen in Russia for the first time. The report mentions a strange creature that attacks cattle and sucks their blood. Subsequent reports also came from a neighboring village saying that 30 sheep had been killed and their blood had dried.

Mid-August 2006, Michelle O'Donnel from Maine, United States of America, reported that a "demon-looking" creature shaped like a rodent with fangs was found dead on the side of the road. But the animal carcass was eaten by vultures before it could be identified by experts.

In May 2007, reports in the national newspaper Columbia stated that more than 300 sheep were killed in the Boyoca area. Possibly, by the Chupacabra.

August 2007, Phylis Canion found the remains of three creatures in Cuero, Texas. He took a picture of them then cut off the head of one of them and kept it in the fridge to submit to a laboratory for DNA analysis. A Mammologist named John Young estimated that the carcass came from a gray fox that suffered from severe Ringworm (Surprisingly, it turns out that so many animals have ringworm)

January 2008, Chupacabra was reported sighted in the province of Capiz in the Philippines. Some locals believe that the Chupacabra has killed eight chickens. The chicken owner saw an animal resembling a dog attacking his chickens.

In August 2008, Dewitt County Deputy Serif Brandon Riedel filmed an unidentified animal on the streets of Cuero, Texas with a camera on the dashboard of his car. The animal is the size of a coyote but has no hair at all. The creature also had a long snout, short forelimbs, and long hind legs. Brandon's supervisor, sheriff Jode Zavesky believes it may be one of the coyote species identified by Texas State University researchers in November 2007.

Although most people describe the Chupacabra as having a dog-like shape, some other testimonies seem to differ. Some say the Chupacabra has a reptile-like shape, has gray-green skin and a dorsal groove from near the neck to the tail. It is about 1-1.2 meters tall and stands or jumps like a kangaroo. According to one witness, the creature he saw could even jump up to 6 meters high.

Because this creature belongs to the cryptid world, it is understandable that the theories regarding the origin of this creature vary widely.

Some researchers connect the Chupacabra with gargoyles, creatures that are part of European history and are associated with evil spirits.

Some believe that the Chupacabra is the result of a genetic mutation caused by a chemical leak from a secret American laboratory in El Yunque, a mountain in eastern Puerto Rico. The lab is known to have suffered some damage during a storm in the 1990s, just as sightings of the Chupacabra started being reported. The US military is known to have tested several chemicals on Puerto Rican farms, all without notification to local residents.

Another theory says that Chupacabra is a giant vampire bat whose fossils have been found in South America.

Theories that make no sense to include the mention that the Chupacabra is an alien pet creature that is released. Some people claim that when they saw the chupacabra, they also saw a flying UFO.

And another theory is that the Chupacabra is not a real creature, but a product of superstition and imagination.
