the chupacabra the mysterious
undiscovered creature that supposedly
caused havoc to farm animals and pants
throughout many countries some may be
familiar with this creature some may
never have heard about it until now
whichever is the case this video will
give you a great overview because here
are five nightmarish and interesting
facts about this mysterious animal hit
the Lights sit back and enjoy
description and territory the chupacabra
first came to prominence in 1995 when a
Puerto Rican farmer found eight of his
sheep dead each sheep had strange
puncture wounds on their chests and
bodies and had been completely drained
of blood over the following months
reports came in of other animals in
particular goats being slaughtered
similarly of course the press was all
over it and the name chupacabra which in
Spanish means goat sucker was given to
the monster thought to be responsible
shortly after the initial attacks
similar strikes were reported in other
countries including the Dominican
Republic Argentina Colombia Peru Brazil
and the United States the most recent
mass attack was in Chile in 2000 farmers
in Kalama awoke to find their goats and
sheep dead in their pens all had
puncture wounds and were drained of
blood so what was this mysterious
creature who was causing such
devastation to both livestock and
occasionally much loved pants while
there are varying descriptions of the so
called chupacabras appearance although
there are a few distinguish features
that appear to be the same it's
described as being up to five and a half
feet tall with a solid build likened to
a small bear with an oval head and large
bulging red eyes that appear to glow it
supposedly has fangs T and a long
reptilian body with spines that run down
his back
the variations on this are that some
reported to have a very unpleasant smell
while others say the creature had no
smell at all some also claimed that its
skin is green and speckled while others
claim that is covered in light fur and
has a similar action to a kangaroo one
thing that doesn't change is that the
chupacabra is set to drain all of the
animal's blood and sometimes organs
usually through three holes in the shape
of a triangle the most believable
encounter probably one of the most
detailed encounters with the chupacabra
was in August 1995 shortly after the
first reported attacks it was witnessed
by a housewife from the village of
caravans in Puerto Rico
her name was Madeline tolentino and she
saw the creature outside her house she
described the beast as about four feet
high with wide dark grey or black eyes
she said it was very typical
alien-looking with air holes instead of
a nose and it was walking upright it
also had long thin arms and only three
fingers she said it had no ears and was
covered in short hair and had spikes
down its back Tolentino said that it had
something strange around its torso as if
it had been burned and she also noted
the creature had no genitals after
staring at the creature for a minute or
so it turned and ran before leaping into
the tall grass a drawing by Benjamin
Radford who tracked down an interview
talentino is said to be a good
likeliness to what she saw however there
has been skepticism about Talon Tina's
account of the creature and many have
claimed that she made up the sighting
after seeing the movie species although
that has always been denied as her
ex-husband his coworker as well as her
mother also witnessed the creature so do
you think this creature was the elusive
chupacabra or did tolentino even see
anything at all
what do you think is the Chupacabra
linked to aliens Porto Rico has long
been associated with UFO sightings and
it's well documented the NIA some ufos
or extraterrestrial activity unexplained
animal mutilations have occurred this
has led to claims that the chupacabra
could be alien in origin and this
explains why UFOs are cited around the
same time as the mutilations and
although the puerto rican mutilations
were not exactly the same as other
mutilations around the world there are
striking similarities worldwide sheep
horses goats pigs rabbits cats dogs
bison deer and elk have all been
reported mutilated with similar
bloodless excisions oftentimes ears
eyeballs
tongue and other organs have also been
removed in most cases mutilated wounds
appear to be clean current and precise
and mutilated animals are usually
although not always drained of blood so
serious are these mutilations taken for
they have been the subject of two
independent federal investigations in
the United States so is it not
inconceivable that whatever is
responsible for mutilating these animals
all around the world is in fact a
similar if not the same creature or
being as the chupacabra many believe so
boar do you think
related legends the chupacabra has been
linked to many other supposed cryptid
legends around the world and although
descriptions differ slightly and various
areas have different names for their
beasts there are similarities in
Louisiana there is a famous legend about
a grunge a supposed Super Cobra like
monster who is thought to be responsible
for several animal mutilations
particularly in the New Orleans area
tales of this beast date back many years
and to this day many residents of New
Orleans are said to keep their pets in
after dark for fear of them falling prey
to the Grunch another similar creature
is known as the pooch urn of chili a
beast with similar habits to the
chupacabra although instead of being
doglike it's described as a winged snake
which can instantly change into an
animal form in the Philippines a
creature known as sig Binh also shares
many of chupacabras characteristics it's
said to come out at night to suck the
blood of its victims it supposedly walks
backward with its head lowered between
its hind legs and legend has it that it
has the ability to become invisible it
supposedly resembles a hornless goals
with large ears and a long tail but it
uses as a web like many reports of the
chupacabra the sig bin is said to emit a
repulsive odor is it possible that all
of these creatures who have been
reported to a mutilated and drained
blood from their victims be the same
thing are the old variations of the
legendary chupacabra what do you think
theories on what it could be so what are
the scientific theories about what this
creature is could it just be a case of
mistaken identity or just a hoax while
the truth is no one knows for sure and
in recent years the phenomenon has been
studied by cryptozoologists in the hope
that they can prove that it does
actually exist they have been some
bizarre theories including that the
creature is the product of a top-secret
u.s. experiment who studies into
genetics have created these mutant
monsters some are convinced it is the
result of some sinister biological
warfare program others are adamant that
it's an extraterrestrial being brought
to earth to carry out experiments and
collect data from Earth's animals and
some have suggested the killings are
linked to a satanic cult who mutilate
the animals as a ritual over the years
several animal carcasses of unknown
species have been found with many
believing they have evidence of the
mysterious chupacabra however when the
creatures were subject to DNA tests they
were identified as dogs coyotes raccoons
or other common mammals usually stricken
with a parasitic infection that causes
them to lose their fur and take on a
gaunt monstrous appearance so if no
animals that have been found are
chupacabras what was sucking blood out
of goats chickens and other livestock
while could there be a simpler
explanation the recent discovery of the
cat Fox in Southeast Asia suggests that
it could have been sightings of this
once unknown animal it certainly
possesses some similarities to the
chupacabra with its hind legs longer
than its front and stocky appearance the
question is could the chupacabra as well
as other similar blood draining beasts
simply be the case of mistaken identity

chupacabra I hope you've enjoyed and
