Chupacabra

Let's get to know first the origin of this creature named CHUPACABRA from the spanish words "CHUPAR" which means SUCK and  "CABRA" which means GOAT. So literaly this is a GOATSUCKER from the name itself and based on what these creature do which is sucking goat's blood. The basic known characteristics of the chupacabra are that it is around three to four feet in length, weighing around 20-30 pounds and its skin is rough and mangy. That it has fangs and a thirst for blood, and is most of all very elusive. Since the first claimed sighting in Puerto Rico, sightings as far as Russia have been reported of the chupacabra.

I don't know if this creatures is true but says it actually exist. In some countries like Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Brazil, United States, and Mexico.

Chupacabra's rumoured cadaver

Some of the reports which started in year 1995 (I was 5 years old back then) in Puerto Rico that this creature attacked 8 sheeps and was found dead. Weird thing is that each got three puncture wounds in the chest area and completely drained of blood. Few months later that specific incident in Puerto Rico there was also an incidents which results to 150 farm animals and pets were killed in a Canóvanas, Puerto Rico. This kind of massacre was linked to an event happened in 1975 in a small town of Moca also in Puerto Rico which they called  El Vampiro de Moca (The Vampire of Moca). But it was rumoured to be a cult killings/ sacrifice. After that numerous killings happen everywhere throughout the town to creatures with their blood depleted to a little roundabout entry points.

There are a lot of reports, photographs and some got wanted to look for a specimen ofthis hideous, hairless dog like creature they call chupacabras. But DNA from some specimens they found are coming from a coyote. They are hairless because of the disease known as "Mange".

Coyote with Mange

Mange is a skin disease most common to animals like mammals also can nfect plants, birds, and reptiles which causes skin scrapings from multiple areas. This is beacuse of the parasite called "Mites". These parasite mites are most common to furry animal which are also known as scabies and demodicosis (you know this if you have a pet cats or dogs). The mites that cause these diseases in humans are closely related to those that cause the mange in other mammals.

I know we're all a bit confounded in the event that it's true or not. Yet, since no clarification about this animal and we just have observers then I get It does some way or another exist.True adherents of the legendary animal stay persevering that the chupacabra exist, some venture to track the animal in spots were sightings were accounted for. Albeit no genuine solid confirmation has ever been observed, most got animals thought to be the chupacabra were rejected after blood tests turned out to be it to be a known creature with a skin condition.

We haven't got any news about this here in the Philippines about chupacabras but I bet they have their own counterparts like what we call a "SIGBIN". Don't worry guys, I will be wrtining an article about it and it'll be done by some time next week.


Enjoy reading. :)
