In this article, we'll look at the legend of El Chupacabra and some reports of sightings and incidents.

Chupacabra发生的袭击和事件的涉嫌报告始终涉及livestock killingsand slain domestic animals with telltale puncture wounds on their necks. A blood sucking vampire beast roaming the night.

Originally, owners of the victims thought the Chupacabra to be a half-human, half-吸血鬼beast. The victims, most often goats and chickens, are reportedly drained of all their blood, but are otherwise left intact. There is usually no other evidence of a struggle or attack -- simply two or sometimes three puncture marks (almost large enough to accommodate a human finger) in the animal's neck. The discrepancy of puncture marks could be attributed to this:

  • Some reports indicate two large protruding fangs.
  • Some reports indicate three large claws on both the hands and feet.

表明Chupacabra活动的故事可以在可以追溯到1950年代的报纸中找到。实际上,北美的第一个报道案件在1956年左右在亚利桑那州。尽管在亚利桑那州,俄勒冈州,密歇根州,伊利诺伊州,新泽西州,新墨西哥州,新墨西哥州,佛罗里达州以及智利,巴西和墨西哥的一部分发生了事件,但多数情况波多黎各发生了活动。1995年,一系列袭击困扰着波多黎各的各个地区。仅在卡诺瓦人,几百个牲畜死亡归因于chupacabra。

Characteristics and Origins

The legendary creature the Chupacabra

Reported incidents of these sorts of creatures vary somewhat, but there are several basic characteristics that pop up over and over again. In most cases, the eyewitnesses describe a beast that is 4.5 to 5.5 feet (137 to 168 cm) tall, with an oval-shaped head bearing alien-like eyes that glow red. Most descriptions claim that the creature has long, feathery spines that run from the back of its head down the spine, ending at the rump.

Many eyewitnesses report a strong, unpleasantsulfur-type odor, but others say that the creature has no smell. Some say the skin is similar to a frog's -- green in color with mottled specks; others claim that it has the appearance of furry lizard with scaly skin.

Although the bipedal creature generally ambles ontwo legs, it has been known to run on all four. Many assert kangaroo-like qualities, saying that the Chupacabra uses its strong hind legs to jump rather than walk. Others suggest a more ape-like quality to the creature's gait.

The origins of the Chupacabra are a subject of debate, as well. Some people believe that this creature is the left-behind pet of visitors from outer space -- hence their uncanny resemblance tospace aliensknown as "grays." Both reportedly have large, oval heads with enormous eyes. The alien theory doesn't end there, however. Others speculate an alien/animal crossbreed created by scientists at NASA, suggesting that the creatures are escaped experiments gone awry. One veterinarian in South America believes that the Chupacabra is a genetically modified吸血鬼bat. Other medical and official personnel suspect that these incidents are caused by packs of wild dogs.

无论如何,见证人们对这样的现象的反应很有趣。人们对chupacabra特别感兴趣,因为他们被人形外星人着迷。我们被类似人类的智力所吸引,因为这意味着我们并不孤单。

So far geneticists and wildlife biologists have identified all of the alleged chupacabra carcasses as those of known animal species, like mostly dogs with allergic reactions causing hair loss and mangy coyotes. If you think you've found one be careful as coming in contact with mange Though dead animals were reported to have been drained of blood when professionally autopsied, they were revealed to contain plenty of blood.

无论chupacabra是真正的动物还是骗局和想象力的产物,它对人类的影响都是相同的。如果有人最终证明了chupacabras的存在,那么周围的传说将消失,取而代之的是科学分析。但是,如果这些生物仍然是一个谜,那么总会有信徒。
