I was watching animal planet the other night,The lost tapes,I think was the name of the show and it was about a creature called the Chupacabra! This is translated in Spanish..the goatsucker. It is an elusive creature that is said that lives in Mexico and parts of Texas and Arizona. I have never heard of such a thing. They say this animal attacks goats,dogs,and chickens and the tell tale sign it is a chupacabra is the three deep punture wounds said to be left by it's teeth. No blood because the chupacabra drinks it!!! Ok..so I ask my spanish amigas at work and sure enough they know what it is although they have never seen one. Have you ever heard of this creature? If not..let's research it and see what we can find out.

My uncle was a "Cazador de Chupacabras", a Chupacabra Hunter. The Chupacabra is a small creature, they are not big at all, from what my uncle told me, they are cunning, incredibly fast, walk out at night. What I have also heard is that they leave 3 punctures in the neck area because the first bite is to paralyze the victim. I am not sure, but judging from my Uncle's research, there was a Chupacabra case in Russia 2006, but judging from all the pictures that my Uncle sketched...trust me he couldn't draw the same thing twice...the Chupacabra picture was the only one he could sketch countless times, in every pose. From the pictures, one could judge that is like a small skinless monkey, like a Monkey that was bit by a Resident Evil Zombie. If they exist, they must be literally almost extinct, because otherwise they would show up more often. If you would like more information. Feel free to contact me.

Hey Kenshin! Thanks for the video..you were right..it did look like Smeagle. Wow..nothing really like the other pics. I read that in one theory that these creatures had escaped from a military lab here called Area 51 in the middle of the desert. It is said that they study alien lifeforms there and actually had a spacecraft and bodies within.(another show I watched interviewing retired employees from there)There was no mention of Chupababra in that show but I can see why it would be believed it came from a lab. Like you said it may not be able to reproduce or maybe it can't reproduce quickly. It has to have a lifespan and on top of that some kind of predator. You said one of your uncle's team mates was killed by one..was it this trip it happened on? Thanks so much for your input on this..it is very interesting.

Even if it does have a long life span..if it was half human it has half a chnce at immortality. Which means it has a 3/4 chance of reproducing because even aliens would have to have race sustaining means..it's oviously has reproductive organs if it's anything like the other videos or pictures posted. Have you looked at them? Maybe you could ask your uncle. It did kind of have human triats in the video you posted. It would also either be a creature that could travel across seas or else be native to earth as you mentioned a case in Russia and also the claims in Saudi Arabia.What's your take on that?

How interesting! I have never heard of such a creature and, although I did not watch the show you mention I have seen pictures of it on the net. It looks like one scary mother! Here is the link to an UTube video of one that was allegedly shot.

I don't know if it is a hoax or not. I would love to find out more about it. If it exists sorry if it sounds selfish but here's hoping it does not live in Australia!

I have heard of the Chupacabra I am not sure if it is real but it is kinda of scary. I reccomend looking up some videos on youtube about it. There are some funny ones as well as some serious ones. One thing is for sure something is sucking the blood from those farm animals, maybe it is an alien? Happy mylotting and have a good day everyday! ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I think I can help, El chupacabras is an alien (supposed to be) created animal that lurks in the dark of the night and attacks the cattle and other domestic animals, drinking its blood. But its just a mistery because a lot of people say to have seen it, or even have captured it, but evidence is very inaccurate. It keeps attacking animals, usualy in dry weather zones.

Hmm... I have never heard of such a creature before.
But I would not be surprise if they exists.
Cos there are so many other blood sucking parasites out there. From the tick to the lice to the leech.
I wonder if there are any pictures of it on the net.
I will go back home to do a search later. ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

No way I'm going to go try and find it.LOL..On the net is as far as I'm looking. I watched a show about it on a channel called animal planet and then started looking it up. Watch the video paula posted for us in the above response. It's weird. Kind of looks like a bat in the face.
