The fauna of our planet is striking in its beauty and bizarreness. But some animals cause fear. Chupacabra is an animal whose existence has not yet been proven. Residents from all over the world claim to have seen her. From our article you can find out who chupacabra is and what harm it does.
Who is chupacabra?
Chupacabra is a creature whose existence cannot be proved and explained by scientists from all over the world. It is known that in most cases it was seen in rural areas. There, chupacabra steals goats, chickens and other farm animals. Surprisingly, the beast does not eat meat. He hunts animals only to drink blood.
It is not difficult to recognize the attack of the chupacabra. As a rule, the beast silently attacks prey at night, and then drinks all its blood from it. Chupacabra stacks the bodies of victims in a row or pile. Despite the fact that the existence of the beast is not proven, the number of eyewitnesses increases every year. Some scientists claim that this is not an unknown animal at all, but just a predator that was susceptible to genetic mutation due to external factors.
Cases of attack by an unknown beast. What does chupacabra look like?
First found chupacabra in the 70s of the last century. Then in Puerto Rico were found the bodies of farm animals without blood. A similar incident has not been repeated for 10 years, so the mythical beast was quickly forgotten. In the 90s, the attack of chupacabra repeated. Similar cases began to occur in other parts of our planet. Today, residents of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus know about chupacabra firsthand. It is for this reason that people living in rural areas try not to go out at night. Attacks were recorded not only on animals, but also on residents of villages and small towns.
It’s impossible to say exactly what a chupacabra looks like. Eyewitnesses describe the beast in different ways. Chupacabra is most likely a four-legged animal that looks very much like a dog. It has a powerful jaw and large strong claws. So eyewitnesses describe chupacabra most often.
Chupacabra Versions
Scientists and zoologists often argue about the origin of the beast. According to their assumptions, chupacabra is the result of someone’s breeding work. It is no secret that in the world there are a large number of centers in which illegal experiments and studies are conducted. Perhaps the result of one of the experiments was chupacabra.
There is another version. Six years ago, a case of an attack on domestic farm animals occurred in the United States. Then scientists proved that this was done not by the mythical chupacabra, but by a wild dog that is sick with scabies. With this disease, the dog loses its fur, smells unpleasant and has thickened skin. The general background of the body is weakening, and the animal can not hunt wild animals. It is for this reason that it attacks agricultural animals. The version of scientists instantly caused a lot of controversy, because representatives of canids do not use blood. They choose meat.
The most famous attacks
More than 10 years ago, Texas killed chupacabra. There was no hair on the body of the mysterious animal. It looked like a dog in size. DNA tests were taken urgently. The results showed that it was not chupacabra, but the most common coyote, which was sick with scabies. In the same year, several more such animals were killed.
In 2005, the first chupacabra in Russia was spotted. Eyewitnesses said that all the corpses of farm animals were bloodless. In 2006 alone, Chupacabra killed more than 30 turkeys and 30 sheep.

His body resembled a kangaroo, but his head looked like a crocodile.
In the summer of 2006, in a state of America, on the side of the road, a strange animal was found with powerful fangs. Most likely, it was hit by a car. The beast did not have wool. Eyewitnesses believe that this is chupacabra. A photo taken at the scene shocked all the locals. Scientists suggest that this is a mixed breed dog. Unfortunately, it was not possible to take materials for analysis. This is due to the fact that the vultures ate the corpse before the arrival of specialists.
8 years ago in Texas, a surveillance camera that is installed on the highway, recorded the movement of a strange creature. It had no wool. His head was narrow and elongated, and his hind legs were noticeably longer than the front. It is believed that it was a hybrid of a wolf and a coyote.

Vampire dog
Recently, Belarus has been actively discussing the existence of chupacabra. There is a known case when the inhabitants of a small village talked about the loss of animals to television reporters. Local authorities promised to sort things out. In the near future, night watch of the police was organized.
Patrols gathered in the late afternoon. A local resident said that cases with a strange killing of animals have been happening for several years. Some eyewitnesses claim that there is no chupacabra. In the village, a flock of vampire dogs attacks animals.
Towards night, the patrol began looking for the best place to ambush. The police claim that at eight o’clock in the evening there is no one else on the street. They decided to stop near the garages in which many animals died last night. According to local residents, the cause of death was precisely chupacabra. The patrol guarded until the morning. Law enforcement officers did not reveal anything suspicious.
The opinion of experts
After the incident in Belarus, experts immediately took the bodies of dead farm animals for examination. After conducting a number of studies, experts found that the cause of death was the bite of a dog or marten. They found that the beast had no pathologies and was not sick with rabies.

Today there is no proven information that chupacabra exists. Many experts claim that this is all fiction. They associate a mysterious beast with an ordinary sick animal. Under the descriptions of eyewitnesses, for example, a dog sick with scabies can come up.
