The document discusses the legend of the Chupacabras, a mysterious creature said to attack and drain the blood of livestock in Puerto Rico and other regions beginning in the 1990s. Sightings were reported across Latin America and the southern United States. Witnesses described it as resembling a kangaroo with claws that moved on all fours and left strange puncture marks on animals. Hundreds of livestock killings were reported in Puerto Rico in 1995. Theories suggest it may be a mutated animal or the result of secret government experiments, but its existence remains unproven.

2.  The legend of the Chupacabras began in about 1992 in
Puerto Rico.
 •Our mystery is the quot;chupacabrasquot; is hardly a creature
that knows its description. As many people say that
they saw and describe it as approximately 3 to 4
feet, with claws,and hops as a kangaroo and their
appearance is nocturnal

3.  Is considered an unsolved mystery because there are
obvious facts which can prove who it is and how it is.
 1994, Puerto Rico. 4 or 6 quot;small grayquot; were found under
a bed and chased out of the house with a broom.
(reported by Joyce Murphy.)

4.  1995 March 11, Orocovis. Eight dead sheep. The
animals had three strange marks or puncture holes in
the chest and were described as quot;completely depleted
of blood.quot;
 1995, August, Canovanas, Puerto Rico. Chupacabras
are blamed for the deaths of approximately 150
animals.
 Nov 19. 1995. 35 times in three months.
Canovanas, Puerto Rico. A resident of this town saw
him one afternoon in their courtyard in the back when
they left the bushes and bit the family dog.

5.  December 14, 1995, Naguabo. On the east coast
several caged rabbits were quot;found dead with holes in
the neck, without a drop of blood.quot; Other rabbits had
disappeared. Near the rabbit cage and had a claw
mark.
 December 15, 1995, Puerto Rico. In a year you think is
responsible for at least 1OOO killings -
goats, sheep, cattle, chickens and other animals.

6.  December 18, 1995, Puerto Rico. The animals died as a
result of a single hole in the forehead. Agune body part
were empty of blood. A photograph shows a Siamese
cat with a hole through his skull.
 March 1996, rural area of Miami. Killing about 40
animals. A woman saw a figure similar to a dog by
standing, with two small hands in the air.
 1996, May 2, Mexico and Miami. Attacks are becoming
more distributed. The wounds seem holes similar to a
biopsy puncture that extend completely through the
muscle tissue and at least one case it was discovered
that the wounds continued through tissue without
leaving a trace of the wound in the skin surface.

7.  Puerto Rico  El Salvador
 Dominican Republic  Panama
 Argentina  Peru
 Bolivia  Brazil
 Chile  United States
 Colombia  Mexico.

9.  Theories of development have also had their field of
action in the phenomenon of chupacabras.
Proponents believe that the creature must be a natural
mutation of an existing animal that has managed to
form a new species very ready to prey animals
 The quot;conspiranoia has devised theories more
amazing, is that their fans believe that American
scientists are behind this, creating a species of animal
species mutate to create a hybrid animal murderer. It
is believed that Puerto Rico is one of the fields of this
type of evidence used by the U.S. government to do all
kinds of weapons tests and radioactive substances of
low ecological security

10.  Our group has so far not had any personal experience
with the Chupacabra. But if we can talk about other
people's experiences and what we have read. Some of
the examples that people have described the ongoing
killings of chickens, goats, sheep, cattle and others
animals. According to the readings for 1995 in the
village of Canóvanas, Puerto Rico wiles to 150 animals.
The discovery of the bodies showed some holes in the
throat area which according to experts they suck
blood.

11.  In our opinion it is just a myth, because if it were a real
creature had procreated a long time ago and also more
visible, but no one would have several. In our view this
was a useful instrument to advertise and attract the
attention of everyone. We are sure that is not
real, because we have not seen and will never know.
