El Chupacabra has been sucking blood out of livestock since the 1990’s. What really is the chupacabra? Where could it be? Well, in this article we shalt find out whether this urban legend is as true as its spookiness.
First of all we should establish, what is the chupacabra? The term El Chupacabra means “the goatsucker”. Mainly because they sucked the blood of goats and other livestock. The chupacabra is apparently a blood sucking reptilian like, dog shaped, spine backed, creature. On the night of the first attack in Puerto Rico witnesses said they had seen this exact creature killing the livestock. When the witness cut open the livestock there happened to be no blood in them, only two puncture wounds on them. This all mainly happened in Puerto Rico, but there have been other sightings of El Chupacabra all over the US and Mexico. Who knows, could that thing be out there?
There are many different theories about this terrifying creature by many people. One of the biggest theories is that it is a wild coyote with a disease. The reason many believe this is because the coyotes usually lose their hair with specific diseases. Coyotes also tend to bite things just to kill them and not eat them although, this is not their usual eating habits. Once someone tried to track it down and they had found a coyote that was hairless. This does not completely bust the myth, because there could be different chupacabras in Mexico or Puerto Rico. Another theory on the chupacabra is that it could be an alien. When they first saw the chupacabra suck out the blood of their livestock it looked like an alien with its features. As you can remember from earlier they creature they saw had reptilian features and had spines on its back. Who wouldn’t think it was an alien?
This mystery is a great one to try and solve. Based on the knowledge we have right now if the chupacabra was an alien it would prove aliens as a real thing too! Just like hitting two birds with one rock, the birds being mysteries. Another reason this mystery is so good is because it is so close to being solved, you could solve it! If you go to Puerto Rico, Texas, or Mexico that is. This chupacabra could still be wandering out there. It does seem weird that the witnesses said they had seen a reptile creature though. Could the witnesses also have been aliens too? Were they trying to protect the secret of the chupacabra? These are many of the theories that you could come up with too! So go and try and solve one of these mysteries and find out these questions that we have about the world around us.
