There wasn&#039;t even any blood spilled on the soil. On that day the animal attached the three sheep and must&#039;ve filled itself with blood, as the [fourth sheep] only had a scratch on it. However, on the next day, that last animal turned up dead . That was my last sheep, and that creature came back in the night to kill it.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&quot;I told the police and a veterinarian came to inspect the animal. She said that the holes were deep and made by fangs that are curved, rather than straight.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;Mrs. Couoh says that the animal that killed her sheep must fly, as she saw blood spattered in different locations. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&quot;Perhaps it&#039;s the Chupacabras, as my neighbors have heard the screams of strange animals at night -- and seen them -- since my sheep were killed. That day I was overcome with fear. I was even paralyzed by the way in which my animals were killed. I&#039;ve been living here for 47 years and had never seen or heard of animals being slain like this.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;Ligia Couoh says that the several families have seen a strange entity standing two meters tall in the night, and they say it&#039;s like a bear. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Other residents of the locality say that ducks and turkeys have also been drained of blood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;source:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rense.com/general81/shp.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;rense&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description>

      <title>The Chupacabra [by mpi-kev]</title>

      <description>The Chupacabra:: The Chupacabra&lt;br /&gt;
The Chupacabra,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name translates to &#039;goat sucker&#039; in Spanish, originated from the creature&#039;s earliest attacks, where goats and other livestock are found with puncture wounds on their necks and most of their blood drained..&lt;br /&gt;Originated in Puerto Rico in the township of Canóvanas, numerous sightings locate him in the United States, Central America (Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala) and South America (Brazil, Chile). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The species would dwell underneath the soil in cave-like structures whose origins and makeup are currently unknown. Other pretends that they come from the future or a 5th dimension&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;LEGEND&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The legend of cipi chupacabra began approximately in 1987, when Puerto Rican newspapers El Vocero and El Nuevo Dia began reporting the killings of many different types of animals, such as birds, horses, and, as its name implies, goats. However, it is predated by El Vampiro de Moca (The Vampire of Moca), a creature blamed for similar killings that occurred in the large town of Moca in the 1970s. While at first it was suspected that the killings were done randomly by some members of a Satanic cult, eventually these killings spread around the island, and many farms reported loss of animal life. The killings had one pattern in common: Each of the animals found dead had two punctured holes around its neck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puerto Rican comedian and entrepreneur Silverio Pérez is credited with coining the term &quot;chupacabras&quot; soon after the first incidents were reported in the press. Soon after the animal deaths in Puerto Rico, other animal deaths were reported in other countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, Brazil, the United States and, most notably, Mexico. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both in Puerto Rico and Mexico, the chupacabra gained urban legend status. Chupacabra stories began to be released several times in English and Spanish language newscasts across the United States, and chupacabra merchandise, such as T-shirts, baseball caps, and even candy, were sold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Appearance&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although they have various differences in appearance, Chupacabra also have several common traits. They are all typically described as being three feet (1 m) or taller, and roughly humanoid in shape. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most common breed of Chupacabra is described as a lizard-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature hopped 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue protruding from it, large fangs, and to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave a sulfuric stench behind. When it screeches, some reports note that the chupacabra&#039;s eyes glow an unusual red, then give the witnesses nausea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[img align=left width=300]http://www.marshallpi.co.uk/images/chupacabra.gif[/img]Another breed of Chupacabra, although not as common, is described as a strange breed of wild dog. This form is mostly hairless, has a pronounced spinal ridge, unusually pronounced eye sockets, fangs, and claws. It is claimed that this breed might be an example of a dog-like reptile. The account during the year 2001 in Nicaragua of a chupacabra&#039;s corpse being found supports this conclusion. The corpse of the animal was found in Tolapa, Nicaragua, and forensically analyzed at UNAN-Leon. Pathologists at the University found that it was an unusual-looking dog-like creature of unknown species. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some reports claim the Chupacabra&#039;s red eyes have the ability to hypnotize and paralyze their prey, leaving the prey animal mentally stunned, allowing the chupacabra to suck the animal&#039;s blood at its leisure. The effect is similar to the bite of the vampire bat, or of certain snakes or spiders that stun their prey. Unlike conventional predators, the chupacabra sucks all the animal&#039;s blood (and sometimes organs) through a single hole or two holes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many residents of South America have reported sightings of Chupacabras, and although various, the descriptions share some significant likenesses. In many reports, accounts include the visible inflation of the stomach region, after a Chupacabra has been feeding. The appearance of the animal changes when an internal bladder-like organ fills with the blood of its prey. Furthermore, almost all witnesses have reported large protruding fangs. These fangs are suspected to be hollow and be the vesicles for the blood on which it feeds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Puerto Ricans also say that the Chupacabra is growing. First reports of mutilations in the 1990s included domesticated cats and dogs and the beast itself was described as roughly dog-sized. Later on, the creature became infamous for attacking goats and was described as a larger creature. Some current sightings have even gone so far as to describe a nearly-man-sized monster attacking horses and cattle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Referance material:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/02/chupacabra.ap/index.html?iref=mpstoryview&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chupacabra is a hairless Coyote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://alienvideo.net/video-chupacabra.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alleged video footage of a Chupacabra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skepticworld.com/cryptozoology/chupacabra.asp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cryptozoology - Skeptic World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lostworldmuseum.com/?p=130&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alleged photographic evidence of a Chupacabra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=3548226&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;News report and photo of alleged Chupacabra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0904-chupacabra.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alleged chupacabra likely a &quot;Xolo dog&quot;; story a hoax&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE NOTE:&lt;br /&gt;M.P.I are not responsible for the content of external links</description>
