00:00In 1975, in Puerto Rico, a farmer saw most of his goats dying on the ground.
00:08He approached and saw that the animals were stiff and had two marks of puncture on their necks.
00:14Goats were not the only animals that were injured.
00:17Many pigs, cows and oxen also lost their lives.
00:20They all had the same distinctive marks of bite on their necks and all had been emptied of their vital fluids.
00:27Residents immediately jumped to conclusions and accused the dogs.
00:31And the authorities did not bother to conduct a better investigation
00:34and simply said that the dogs were responsible for it without looking for evidence.
00:38A few days later, however, many other animals were found dead.
00:42Among them, a cow that had literally been opened.
00:46And she had a lot of fangs on her head.
00:49The farmer next door reported that his chickens had been destroyed by something.
00:54In just a few weeks, the creature took the lives of 90 farm animals.
00:59A little later, another farmer said that 10 of his goats had been emptied,
01:047 had been injured and 11 were reported missing.
01:07This time, the authorities did not waste time and started hunting the monsters.
01:12But they did not have a chance to find the culprit.
01:14The incident was everywhere in the local newspaper and the beast was named the Moka vampire.
01:21The incident caught the attention of the agricultural commission
01:25and the scientist Juan Rivero was in charge of solving this mystery from another world.
01:30His first suspect was a boa from Puerto Rico.
01:34This venomous snake can measure a little over 2 meters.
01:37However, its diet includes only small prey.
01:41It is also very shy towards humans and other animals.
01:44It avoids larger creatures at all costs.
01:47You are more likely to see fish climbing trees than to see this boa kill an entire cow.
01:52Near the crime scene, a large cave has been discovered.
01:56And we all know that strange creatures like to live in dark and cold caves.
02:01In the cave, they found bats with a crazy look.
02:04As we saw in the movies, bats can turn into vampires.
02:08So they must be the culprits.
02:10But no, the bats were as innocent as they could be.
02:13Their favorite food was not cows or goats.
02:16It was figs.
02:17They were pacific bats that ate fruits and did not care about animals.
02:23Once again, the researcher hit a wall.
02:26Suddenly, all the terror stopped in July 1975.
02:30It seemed that the creature had disappeared in the air, but not for long.
02:34Two decades later, 100 km from the previous site, other animals were found.
02:40A local veterinarian examined them.
02:43He was terrified to discover that each animal had two holes precisely cut as he had never seen before.
02:49The animals were anemic and seemed to have died recently.
02:53Judging by appearances, the creature's favorite food was goats.
02:58And that's how it got the sadly famous name we've all heard.
03:02Chupacabra, which means the goat slayer.
03:05Dogs, chickens, rabbits and other animals were not excluded from the menu.
03:10In a short time, the chupacabra took 1,000 farm animals.
03:14Now, this animal had a name.
03:17But people still had no idea what the chupacabra looked like.
03:21Which was terrifying.
03:23In Canovanas, Madaline and her mother reported seeing a strange creature that could have been the chupacabra.
03:30They said it walked on two legs like a human and looked like a kangaroo.
03:34They mentioned that the monster also had thorns on its back, no ears, big dark eyes and two holes for a nose.
03:40It had two arms with three fingers.
03:43The chupacabra seemed to like Madaline's house because her husband and colleague found it in the garage.
03:48They tried to capture it but failed.
03:51Madaline later drew a detailed sketch of the creature.
03:55Many people saw the sketch and reported seeing a similar creature.
04:00They claimed it had strong legs and wings and that it smelled sulfur.
04:04Take all these descriptions with a grain of salt.
04:07If they were true, they would have gone around the news.
04:11But always keep these descriptions in mind.
04:14They will be important later in the story.
04:19In 1976, in a TV show, they talked about the chupacabra and the show quickly became viral.
04:27Quickly, people began to report seeing a similar creature in Florida and Mexico.
04:32Many claimed that the stories were like a rodeo of unicorns.
04:36They were totally made up.
04:38In Mexico, two skeptical investigators, Patricia and Mario,
04:42have spread traps around farms where the chupacabra would have allegedly been seen.
04:47They caught a few animals in their trap, but no trace of the goat slayer.
04:52They only captured wild dogs.
04:55The police claimed that the chupacabra was only a wild dog and not a mythical creature.
05:00And yet, over the next five years, many apparitions of the chupacabra have been reported around the world.
05:09On August 30, 2000, a farmer in Nicaragua discovered 25 of his sheep and 35 sheep of his injured neighbor.
05:16So he decided to take matters into his own hands.
05:19One night, he patiently waited in total darkness for the creature to appear.
05:23Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something and managed to hit it.
05:28The creature went from life to death.
05:30Finally, they had been the proof that the chupacabra was not just a fairy tale.
05:34It was a great thing.
05:37Later, the chupacabra was examined by a veterinarian.
05:41The veterinarian was shocked because he had no idea what the creature was.
05:45Do you remember Madeline's description?
05:48Well, the veterinarian described the animal differently.
05:51But his story turned out to be more plausible.
05:53This chupacabra had large teeth, gigantic claws, greenish eyes, a skin similar to that of a bat and a ridge sticking out of its back.
06:03The veterinarian concluded that the animal was a kind of hybrid.
06:07He thought it was a cross between a wolf and a crocodile.
06:11But it looks like an exaggeration and is difficult to believe.
06:15We all know that such a mixture is impossible.
06:19They performed some tests on the body in a university in Nicaragua.
06:23And the results did not quite deliver what they hoped.
06:27The animal was a wild dog with galls.
06:30Galls are a pruriginous skin disease that causes dogs to lose their hair.
06:35It is also very contagious.
06:37When a dog has galls, its skin becomes squamous and wrinkled.
06:41When they returned the body, the farmer noticed that it was not his chupacabra.
06:46Seven years later, another body was discovered in Texas.
06:50Phyllis Canin returned to her farm and noticed that some of her hens were dead.
06:56All seemed to be anemic.
06:58Later, she saw creatures resembling coyotes that did not have hair.
07:03Even more animals were injured.
07:05She had to install cameras on her farm.
07:08But unfortunately, as always, she did not manage to record anything.
07:14Surprisingly, she received a call from a local farmer,
07:17who had found the chupacabra overturned by a car.
07:20Later, another body was discovered much closer to her farm.
07:24She took some pictures of the animal and soon these images were everywhere on the Internet.
07:29Phyllis was curious and sent five DNA samples to five different universities.
07:35The results did not match any of the archival animals.
07:38Researchers had no idea what it was, but it was not a dog.
07:42Phyllis still has an animal in her freezer and a naturalized specimen in her house.
07:49There are many theories about the chupacabra.
07:52Some claim that the animal is a genetically modified monkey that escaped from the laboratory.
07:57Others claim that it is a mysterious and supernatural creature.
08:01The most constant hypothesis is that the chupacabra is a mixture between a Mexican wolf and a coyote from Gaul.
08:08Now, do you remember that Phyllis had said that she had sent samples to five universities
08:13and that no match had been found?
08:16Well, it turned out that she had not told the truth.
08:19In a university, they discovered that the animal was a mixture between a coyote and a Mexican wolf
08:24and that it had the Gaul.
08:26The animals from Gaul are weak and will probably try to hunt farm animals to survive.
08:31People, when they see something they do not know, tend to exaggerate.
08:36This is why all witnesses describe the animal differently.
