The Chupacabra is a mythical hairless wolf-dog the existence of which had never been confirmed, until lately a similar creature was poisoned, by a student of Jerry Ayer’s Blanco Taxidermy School. Lynn Butler, on hearing some vicious creature killing the chickens in his cousin’s barn, thought that it could be a varmint or raccoon.

The coyote or fox like creature, derives its name from the Spanish word chupar meaning “to suck”, and literally translates into “goatsucker”. In Sitwell Oklahoma similar animals have been located, so naturally the question comes up in our minds whether there is really a thing like this?

However, most carcasses discovered or rumored to have killed livestock in Central and South America have been proved to be coyotes on closer examination infested with mange. Widely known as the Mexican Bigfoot, tales of the mythical creature can be traced to have originated in Puerto Rico.
What was discovered by Butler recently could also be Xolo, a hairless Mexican breed. For that matter it becomes very difficult to state clearly what or where the creature belongs, since the flaura and fauna of America is one of the most variegated in the world.

Nevertheless, it is not everyday that we come across a dog-like carnivore that could have suffered deep mutilation of appearance after being infected by some new bacteria.

The specie with its protruding spinal cord, oval-head, glowing wild eyes, and its sharp fangs looks weird enough to probe our inquisition. But until a scientific identification is made to state that it is an unclassified type; to say that a Chupacabra exists would be like saying the Lochness monster exists!
