CHUPACABRAS "COUSIN" FOUND IN VALPARAISO
Specialists from the Museum of Natural History subjected the carcass of a specimen found in Cerro Cordillera to a battery of tests.
The situation came about a few days ago at the home of Manuel Otazo, who found the corpse of a strange animal inside a doghouse belonging to one of his animals. "We percieved the foul smell and thought at first that someone had thrown away fish byproducts. But then we saw that our pet was frightened and didn't want to go into his doghouse. Upon inspecting it we came across this monster," said Sonia Valdivia, the terrified homeowner.
Manuel Otazo explained that the animal had a small head and red fur, with large fangs, claws and hands resembling wings, different from any rodent or known domestic animal. "Before running it it at night we would hear noises on the rooftops and hens and rabbits died recently at a neighbor's house. We think it could be the Chupacabras or one of his relatives that was wounded and came to die in our pet's doghouse."
After burying it, the owners subsequently contacted the Museum of Natural History of Valparaiso, who transferred the specimen to their facilities.
The animal was submerged in a special brine. Fernando Soto, professor of Biology, reported that the carcass -- in advanced stages of putrefaction -- will be submitted to a treatment based on choleopterids that devour flesh and bone to recover the skeleton. The bones will be compared later on with the anatomies of known species.
Despite the a priori exam performed on the animal, he noted that while it could be a dog or a cat, he was surprised by some strange features such as the absence of incisors, the size of its extremities and the color of its fur.
The Museum of Natural History says that it isn't so unusual to run into strange species in the area. Only a few months ago, they received the carcass of a pig with three eyes. "The owners, who were from Cerro Barón, decapitated it at once, because they thought it was a thing of the devil rather than a genetic aberration."

Chupacabra update:
The chupacabra, or goatsucker, is an elusive creature known to frequent Latin America in search of goats and cows from which to suck internal organs.
To be fair, many doubt the creature's existence, assigning it roughly the same amount of respect and admiration accorded Montana's jackaroo and Scotland's Loch Ness Monster.
Be that as it may, some folks try to be open-minded.
During a very recent sprint down to South America, I had opportunity to ask some gentlemen from the vicinity of Cordoba, Argentina, if they had any insights on the chupacabra phenomenon.
The consensus? Chupacabra sightings and physical evidence of chupacabra-like activity ceased suddenly and coincidentally with the United States' decision to lift an embargo on Argentine beef.
According to Carlos Ortiz of San Antonio, Argentina, the real chupacabra probably was a USDA inspector lowered by helicopter to take organ samples from unsuspecting cows as part of an organized effort to determine the safety of consuming Argentine steak. Hmmm. Mmmm. Good. Pass the A-1.

PUERTO RICO: 11 GOATS SLAIN IN PETTING ZOO
***Horrible find in children's park***
Eleven goats were found dead inside their wooden pen, which forms part of the petting zoo of the "Illusion" children's park on the premises of the Montehiedra Town Center in Rio Piedras (San Juan, PR).
The discover was made by tFausto Radaelli, he person in charge of the petting zoo and its owner.
According to the explanation given by Radaelli to PRIMERA HORA, he took 11 goats to the kiddie park last Monday because he was attempting to recreate a manger scene for the Christmas holiday.
He placed them in a wooden pen in the open air so they could spend the night there. But they were found lifeless on Wednesday morning.
Three of the goats presented large bite marks, dismemberment and one of them had half of its body devoured; all of its internal organs, excepting its stomach, were gone.
The rest of the goats had bite marks and fang marks on the rear of their bodies. The marks resembled the ones found on animals allegedly attacked by the infamous "Chupacabras".
The goats had their necks twisted backward and rigor mortis had not set in 48 hours after their deaths.
According to biologist Ernesto Marquez, a specialist in exotic animals, the goats were attacked by "a wolf, a coyote, a hybrid (wolf-dog hybrid) or very large feral dogs."
Marquez says that these animals exist on the island and knows that they are trafficked and even advertised in newspaper classifieds.
The expert's theory is sustained by the carnivore's modus operandi. "These are regular fang marks. Canids kill animals by the rear, seizing them to hold them down and eat them."
Marquez dismissed the possibility that the goats may have been slain by a feline, since "these kill from the throat, strangling [their prey], dragging it off. This was a canid."
He added that "the animal leaped; it is an agile animal, attacking from the rear. It's astute and knows human beings. It came around when there was no one around and returned on the next day, when there was no one either. He explained that this animal has wild instincts and that not even animals in Africa, at large in their own habitat, kill so much prey to eat only one.
"This is vicious. The animal isn't psychologically well," maintained the biologist, who also belongs to the SPCA.
Yesterday, the site was being examined by Marquez, Julio Diaz of the Animal Control Solutions company and veterinary technician Herman Sulsona of the San Juan Animal Control Center.
There were no signs of forcible entry. No prints nor hairs of any other animal were found.
Radaelli also has a pony, Dutch hens and sheep at the petting zoo; at his farm in Carolina, where he raises these animals, he has dwarf cows, a burro and other goats, which the occasionally brings to the park.
The park, which has been operating since May 8th and will remain until January 31st, has no security of any kind. Yesterday, after removing the dead goats, the park was reopened to the public after 6 pm. Specialists cautioned the park's custodians that the animal may return, and advised that the animals be kept inside a trailer, or else removed from the site.
Last night, Martinez and Radaelli were expected to authorize Diaz and Marquez to stay overnight at the location with the specialized equipment needed to hunt the predator. Diaz informed PRIMERA HORA that they have been given confidential information that in the vicinity of Caimito and Montehiedra there are "wealthy persons who traffic in exotic animals,and lions, tigers and pumas can also be found."

CHILE: STRANGE AVIAN DEATHS NEAR TOWN SQUARE
** Owners heard nothing in the early morning hours, when the unusual attack occurred***
by Rodrigo Jimenez
PENCAHUE - The affected parties cannot agree on what species caused them so much damage yesterday morning. They think that the author of the slayings could have been a dog, a cat, the small feline known as quique or even the mythic Chupacabras. Eighty birds being raised on the property of Eliana Núñez and Reinaldo Sepúlveda on Alonso Rivera street, near the Plaza de Armas (town square) of Pencahue met a grisly end.
It was Núñez who found out what happened, as suggested by her routine when she stepped out to her vast yard at 9 am. A large henhouse stands amid fruit trees and dry pastures. Terrified, she found a multitude of lifeless chickens, hens and roosters scattered across the property. Their bodies were complete, but they displayed small and deep bite marks.
"I was frightened to see my little chicks dead," Eliana told Diario EL CENTRO. She cannot imagine who or what could have committed such an atrocity.
No sooner did she find her birds, she notified her husband. "The entire sector was filled with hens," recalled Don Reinaldo, still surprised.
The couple gave notice immediately to the Carabineros (state police) headquarters at Pencahue. Officers reached the scene and began looking for traces that might lead to the author of the slayings. But they found nothing -- not a track, not a trace of the party responsible for the savage attack that occured while the commune slept.
Juan Orellana, who works for the Pencahue environmental program, was also in attendance. "We saw about 80 chickens scattered all around the henhouse and they showed no signs of having been masticated. They were scattered throughout almost entire sector. They are complete and some chickens have signs of bite marks. We cannot establish an effective working hypothesis. The case is strange and it could have been dogs, cats, I don't know...if the quique was involved," he theorized.
"The henhouse was closed with lock and key and the gate appeared to have been forced from the bottom, showing that something had gotten in. I locked it up last night around 9 and heard no strange sounds," said Don Reinaldo, who believes that the one responsible for the deaths arrived via the irrigation ditch that passes by his house.
The affected parties, the Carabineros and the official from the environmental program had counted 25 chickens, 28 hens and 2 roosters as deceased. "Look, there's another!" said a uniformed officer as he surveyed the yard, which was covered in feathers.
The background information was collected in a police report and forwarded to the District Attorney's office at Talca for the crime of "damage to farm birds". According to Juan Orellana: "The Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG) asked me to bring in two hens for analysis. We're going to bury the rest, since they're a source of disease. I also contacted environmental hygiene."
Once initial inquiries were done, the dead birds were buried in the rear of the house amid a strange sensation. No one dared establish in an authoritative manner what exactly attacked the property, located only meters away from Town Hall. What they did say is that such incidents had never occurred in the peaceful commune of Pencahue.

CHILE: Chupacabras Behind Avian Deaths?
** Perfect incisions left no trace of blood**
Two families of the commune of Victoria were shocked after finding almost all of their farm birds dead inside their henhouses.
These two cases attracted our attention: the first one occurred on a property located a few blocks away from the city's town square in the early morning hours of Sunday. It was still possible to see the feathers of the dead birds scattered throughout the site. People who were in the sector at the time of the attack stated that they had gone to bed around 04:00 hrs without hearing any strange sounds. The first dead specimens were locked in a double-gated cage that was kept shut at night to keep poultry safe from predation by mice or cats. But this "creature" opened the gates to the cage, killing 10 birds. Afterwards, the strange mammal toured the two henhouses in the area killing everything in its way, leaving feathers in its path.
The second case occurred in housa located 3 blocks from the municipal marketplace in the downtown area of Victoria. This time, the birds showed clean wounds -- puncture marks in their extremities and under their wings, leaving their heads completely purple, without stains of blood on their plumage.
Luis González, owner of the property, remarked that there was no need for guard dogs, since the rooster played that role. The rooster kept strangers from approaching the henhouse, and its aggressiveness was such that the owners considered killing it more than once. But the cock's natural violence did not keep it from being killed by the "wild animal" together with six hens.
There are other strange cases that have drawn the attention of residents of La Araucanía, this time in the vicnity of Angol. One such case occurred while the city's jail was being built in 2000. A night watchman was doing his rounds when he saw a strange animal land on the hook holding the streetlight, bending it. The watchman managed to see "something" with wings measuring 1 meter, red eyes and completely covered in fur.
Oddly enough, after recording the presence of this animal,. reports of strange animal deaths from areas adjacent to the construction site -- on Javiera Carrera street -- began to be recieved. This went on for a week. The trail went could for a while until the attacks were renewed, this time in the Nahuelbuta National Park. Many larger animals were found dead there, such as horses, sheep and cows.
According to Erasmo Mera, president of IFOV (Victoria UFO Phenomena Research), "we have had five cases attributable to the Chupacabras and the incisions we found were on the wings. Other characteristics of these attacks are the absence of spilled blood. If you see one animal killing another, the killer shakes it, spilling blood everywhere. There were no traces of blood on the floor," he stressed.
What is strange about the events in Victoria and neighboring communities is that this animal, which allegedly attacks rural areas, is now acting in densely populated areas, namely backyards 400 meters distant from the central areas of any city, such as town squares.

Strange corpse has some muttering the word 'chupacabra'
By: Reed Upton
Some New Mexicans say it's the weirdest thing they've ever seen: a creature and that's the best word to describe it found on Albuquerque's West Mesa.
To some, it's simply intriguing. To others, it's downright scary. The creature belongs to Robert Wheeler.
"It was found out on the West Mesa," says Wheeler. "A friend of mine was out there shooting and kicked it out of the dirt."
"It looks like a gargoyle" said Wheeler's friend Steve Garcia. "It has these sponge-like lips."
Garcia and Wheeler say Hispanics seem most affected by the creature and what it might be.
"[To people of] Spanish heritage, it's the chupacabra," says Wheeler. "The goat sucker is what they call it."
A Google search will reveal many images of what people imagine the mythical chubacabra ranging from a demented Grinch-like beast to something more closely resembling the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Wheeler delivered the creature to a New Mexico Game and Fish office where Eyewitness News 4 shot video of it and recorded responses from people entering the office on regular business only to see the dried corpse. They weren't sure what to make of it.
"Any guess as to what it could be," Eyewitness News 4's Tom Joles asked one of the drop-ins.
"Something prehistoric, I assume," answered the viewer.
After doing some research, Eyewitness News 4 has concluded that the creature probably lived in the ocean at one time and probably isn't either a chupacabra or an alien. Eyewitness News 4 at 10:00 on Friday will explore what the creature may have been.

*UPDATE* Game and Fish: Bizarre creature an ocean skate
Last Update: 02/12/2005 2:44:41 PM
By: Todd Dukart
A bizarre creature found on Albuquerque's West Mesa wasn't the chupacabra, the Department of Game and Fish said, but it was something that isn't often seen in New Mexico: an ocean skate.
Some people thought the creature was the chupacabra, a legendary creature also called the "goat sucker."
Construction worker Robert Wheeler said a friend of his found it four years ago on the West Mesa.
Game and Fish employee Marlene Bernal said she saw the creature in someone's home.
"She had it a bedroom locked up and I said, 'What are you doing with it locked up?' " Bernal said. "And she said, 'I've never seen anything like it in my life.' "
Bernal said she noticed the creature had gills, so she and her husband thought it could be a fish they didn't know about.
The woman then brought the creature to Game and Fish to be identified.
"There were about six officers here and they took a good hour and a half looking at it and studying it," said Bernal.
At first, the department identified the creature as a stingray, but later found it was an ocean skate.
Albuquerque Aquarium manager Holly Casman said stingrays and ocean skates are similar, but ocean skates have wider tails than stingrays.
Camain said the creature looks so different because a fisherman cut most of the meat off.
It's not clear why the creature ended up on the West Mesa, but one theory says someone either caught it or bought it and dumped it on the mesa.

CON LA PÁLIDA: El Chupacabras vuelve por Chiu-Chiu
Muertos de susto andan los habitantes de Chiu-Chiu, ubicado a 30 kilómetros de Calama, ante la misteriosa muerte que sufrieron sus animales, los cuales presentaban heridas mortales y muy parecidas a las que deja el mítico Chupacabras.
El hecho se registró en una de las casas del poblado, donde sus dueños quedaron impresionados al ver que un total de catorce ovejitas de su rebaño habían sido disecadas por algún monstruo, de un solo sorbo y sin usar servilleta.
Ante la alarma pública, concurrió Carabineros de Calama, quienes determinaron que los autores del ataque serían una jauría de perros hambrientos que deambulan por el desierto.
Pero según expertos que le hacen chupete a este tipo de hechos paranormales y que siguen cada paso del mítico ser, el ataque a los lanudos corresponde al mismo modus operandi del Chupacabras, quien ya visitó Calama en meses anteriores.
Los agricultores de Chiu-Chiu ya ni pegan ojo en la noche y se han organizado para realizar guardias y cazar infraganti al perla que está acabando con sus rebaños.
In English:
The Chupacabras returns to Chiu-Chiu.
Scared to death are the inhabitants of Chiu-Chiu, located some 30 kilometers of Calama, upon the mysterious deaths that their animals have suffered, of which presented mortal wounds very similar to that made by the Mythical Chupacabras.
The happening occurred in one of the houses of the town, where it's owners remain impressed to see a total of fourteen sheep of their flock had been dissected by some sort of monster, and in one gulp, without using a napkin.
With the public alarm, it concurred Customs officers of Calama, whom determined that the authors of the attack would be a pack of hungry dogs that ramble through the desert.
But, according to experts whom love these sorts of paranormal acts, and whom follow each step of the mythical one, the attack to the fleecy ones corresponds to same modus operandi of the Chupacabras, that has already visited Calama in previous months.
The Farmers of Chiu-Chiu cannot sleep at night and have organized to stand guard, hunt, and hopefully catch off guard the one which is finishing off their flocks.

El "Chupacabras", más cerca de lo que pensamos
Según un estudioso en la materia, de marzo en adelante comienzan sus terríficos ataques.
Por Pedro Soto Palma
Según el especialista Alberto Urquiza, el "Chupacabras" puede saltar entre 15 a 20 metros, de acuerdo a sus estudios.
Nunca olvidará aquella noche al filo de la madrugada. Regresó a su hogar lastimado de gravedad, cargando al miedo sobre sus hombros.
Permaneció 15 minutos sumergido en las inquietas aguas del canal, intentando pensar en la sórdida imagen que sus ojos describieron, mientras dos criaturas lo observaban impunemente... Nuevamente ataca el "Chupacabras": primer round. ¿Qué es? ¿qué forma tiene? ¿de dónde proviene? Son quizás las más simples preguntas que nos asalten al momento de escuchar hablar del temido "Chupacabras".
Según lo que indica el libro de Isaías en la (Biblia), se hace referencia a un "monstruo" femenini (Lilith) que ha sido traducido, de acuerdo a la versión del libro sagrado como "Chotacabras". De acuerdo a la interpretación del apocalíptico versículo (34-11), se establece lo siguiente: "Se adueñaron de ella (Tierra) el pelícano y el erizo, la lechuza (Chotacabras o Lilith) y el cuervo morarán en ella".
No es para alarmarse. ¿O sí?
PPRIMER CASO
La especialista y recopiladora de artículos relacionados con el tema, Liliana Nuñez, afirmó que el primer caso registrado -como ronda en la memoria colectiva no fue en Calama en el año 2000 -sino que fue más cerca de Puerto Montt de lo que se piensa. Muy pocos lo saben.
En la localidad de Antilhue, a 50 kilómetros de Valdivia, un agricultor de la zona mató al supuesto "Chupacabras" de un certero escopetazo.
Si las caída de las torres gemelas fue un trofeo para el terrorismo, el cráneo de desconocido del animal fue el propio estandarte de la victoria para el lugareño.
Meses después, enterado de los sucesos que publicaron los medios de comunicación, decidió acercase en el mes de mayo, hasta "El Diario el Austral" de Valdivia a relatar lo sucedido. Días en que el resto del país también era acechado por un extraño animal-denominado "Chupacabras".
Después de cuatro de meses de ardua investigación, científicos de la Universidad Austral determinaron que "la fauna chilena es bien conocida como para descubrir nuevas especies en pleno año 2000". Los especialistas que analizaron el caso establecieron que "no han podido determinar de qué animal se trata", según publicó el diario en ese entonces. De acuerdo al investigador y científico, Milton Gallardo, quien realizó la investigación el cráneo encontrado tenía 6 inicisivos, 2 caninos, 6 premolares y 6 molares en la maxilar superior, lo mismo que en mandíbula inferior. Lo que suma un total de 40 dientes. ¿Realidad o ficción? No es para alármense. ¿O sí?
MISTERIO
(...) Ambas criaturas tenían dos soles amarillos debajo de su frente. Una de ellas medía 60 centímetros y la otra, más de un metro. Tenían alas, el pelaje negro. Si el ataque de Hiroshima fue una tortura, ¿qué fue para Juan Acuña lo vivido el 11 de julio del 2004 en las cercanías de Parral?. El "Chupacabras": segundo round. ¿Ficción o realidad?
El veterinario puertomontino, Marcelo Catrilef, afirmó que aún no existe una explicación clara a los ataques registrados por la prensa desde el año 2000.
"Queda más que claro que el fenómeno es poco conocido. No se puede pensar que es un animal, pero hay muchas cosas inexplicables como el comportamiento de lo animales atacados. Las mismas gallinas que no cacareen. Es un extraño comportamiento tanto del atacado como el animal que ataca", enfatizó.
Alberto Urquiza, panelista del programa "La Ley de la Selva", ufólogo y especialista en el tema, dijo que los ataques se realizan de forma sigilosa.
"La herida provocada es una sola y es característica en todos los casos. Tiene un tamaño de un dedo visto de frente, no muy grande, que puede llegar a tener de dos a cuatro centímetros de profundidad y no hay sangre en el entorno del animal atacado. Los pelos o las plumas de ellos, tampoco tienen sangre y menos en el piso", afirmó el especialista.
Una de las mayores interrogantes para Urquiza es que no sean encontrado huellas del "Chupacabras" en el lugar de los hechos.
HIPOTESIS
Las víctimas del desconocido animal, van desde alpacas, cerdos, ovejas, perros, gatos y gran parte de las aves.
De acuerdo las hipótesis que se barajan sobre el origen del "Chupacabras" existen cuatro en las que posiblemente lo investigadores se basan.
Entre ellas destacan las aseveradas por el siquiatra e investigador de los extraños sucesos, Mario Dussuel, quien afirmó que la primera de ellas sería un experimento de alguna de las grandes potencias, como la norteamericana. El caso que ocurrió en el norte del país en la mina Radomiro Tomic, donde fue capturado una criatura, lo que coincidió porque en ese mismo lugar había aviones norteamericanos, por lo que intuyó que los responsables directos serían los estadounidenses, quienes habían realizado experimentos genéticos con el temido "Chupacabras". Después de un tiempo, se le bajó el perfil al tema.
La segunda hipótesis es el extraño ser que siempre ha existido en la Tierra. "Es un ser inteligente que se ha sabido esconder y por eso es que nunca se han encontrado sus restos", afirmó.
La tercera se basa en que nuestro hábitat hay un molde intraterreno, con cavernas y refugios subterráneos. "En una época hubo una intensa radiación ultravioleta que mató a toda la vida reinante de ese entonces. Existió una civilización que se escondió bajo la tierra para refugiarse", explicó el investigador.
Asimismo, afirmó que la cuarta hipótesis se relaciona con los Ovnis, porque en los mismo lugares que han avistado objetos voladores, coincidentemente se han detectado los mencionados animales. De acuerdo a su versión, estos especímenes habría sido dejados por los ET, con la finalidad de estudiar la reacción de los humanos.
De las posturas mencionadas anteriormente, a juicio del siquiatra e investigador, Mario Dussel, es muy difícil abanderizarse con una, ya que de ninguna de las anteriores se ha logrado comprobar su verosimilitud.
Para el especialista, la criatura ha existido siempre.
Por su parte, la investigadora Liliana Núñez, descartó de plano que el mítico animal esté relacionado con objetos voladores no identificados. "En Chile el fenómeno de los Ovnis no tiene nada que ver con las matanzas de los animales. Basta hacer una recopilación de artículos publicados, que son más de mil 500, con toda la fenomenología global incluida. Los Ovnis no tienen en lo absoluto relación con los casos".
De acuerdo al testimonio de la especialista dado para una radio de Tenerife (España), los objetos voladores deben estar en el mismo espacio presente en que ocurren las matanzas, siendo una se sus bases fundamentales para negar la relación entre ambos fenómenos. ¿Realidad o ficción? No es para alarmarse. ¿O sí? El "Chupacabras"
(...) Con la velocidad de un relámpago escondió sus ojos tras el antebrazo, con tozuda cobardía sólo de defendió. A Newton le cayó una manzana en su cabeza, a Juan Acuña una lluvia de golpes. El "Chupacabras: tercer round. A juicio de la recopiladora de artículos relacionados con el tema e investigadora, Lilian Núñez, existirían varios tipos de Chupacabras.
Uno de ellos correspondería a una especie de "perro" que es más grande que uno normal. Otro es el "centroamericano", el tipo "cóndor" que tiene alas y que fue visto en junio del 2000 en Porvenir. Por último un tipo de "Chupacabras" parecido a un "antropoide" (similar al mono) y que fue visto en todo el país, afirmó la investigadora.
El periodista del programa de "La Ley de la Selva", César Pérez, quien ha acompañado en terreno al especialista Alberto Urquiza, dijo que en la mayoría de los casos hay situaciones que no tienen explicación.
"En el pueblo de Maipo, en las cercanías de Santiago, había un gallinero con 35 especímenes y cuando acudimos hasta allá estaban todas muertas", reveló. Realidad o ficción. No es para alarmarse.
¿O sí?
Gancho al mentón (Nocaut)
Después de los ataques propiciados por los dos seres extraños, Juan Acuña, la víctima, fue examinado el en Instituto Médico Legal de Santiago. Le realizaron exámenes físicos y sicológicos. Sin embargo, nunca olvidará aquella noche al filo de la madrugada. Regresó a su hogar lastimado...El "Chupacabras": último round.
Nocaut. Realidad o ficción.

The Chupacabras: Closer than We Thought?
by Pedro Soto Palma
*** Expert says terrifying attacks will begin from March onward ***
Juan Acuña will never forget that night at the edge of midnight when he returned home seriously injured, bearing the weight of fear on his shoulders. He remained submerged under the restless waters of the canal for 15 minutes trying to think of the sordid image that his eyes had seen while two creatures regarded him with impunity...
The Chupacabras had attacked again. This was the first round. What is it? What is its shape? Where does it come from? These are perhaps the most essential questions that come to our minds when we hear the fearsome "Chupacabras" mentioned.
According to the Biblical Book of Isaiah, reference is made to a female monster (Lilith) that has been translated in certain versions of the Holy Word as "Goatsucker". According to Rev. 34-11, "The pelican and the urchin took over her (Earth) and the owl (Goatsucker or Lilith) and the raven shall dwell on her."
Cause for worry..or not?
Specialist and compiler of articles related to the subject, Liliana Núñez, aid that the first recorded case in Chile in the year 2000 did not occur in Calama - as collective memory suggests - but closer to Puerto Montt that one would think. Very few know this.
In the town of Antihue, some 50 km from Valdivia, a local planter killed the alleged "Chupacabras" with a shotgun blast.
If the collapse of the Twin Towers was a triumph for terrorism, the skull of the unknown animal became the standard of victory for the local planter. Monthls later, learning of the events appearing in the media, he decided to approach "El Diario El Austral" of Valdivia to tell his story. Days later, the rest of the country was stalked by a strange animal known as "Chupacabras"
After four months of intense investigation, scientists with the Universidad Austral determined that "Chilean fauna is sufficiently well-known; the discovery of new species in the year 2000 is unlikely." Specialist analyzing the case determined that they had been "unable to establish the animal in question" according to the newspaper article. Scientist Milton Gallardo, who analyzed the skull, said it had 6 incisors, 2 canines, 6 premolars and 6 molars in the upper jaw as well as in the lower jaw. A total of 40 teeth. Truth or fiction? No cause for alarm...or is it?
[The creatures that attacked Juan Acuña] had two "yellow suns" under their forehead. One of them was 60 centimeters tall and the other stood over one meter tall. They were winged and covered in black fur. If the Hiroshima bombing was torture, how did Acuña feel about his experience on July 11, 2004 near El Parral?
Marcelo Catrilef, a veterinarian from Puerto Montt, stated that there is still no clear explanation to the attacks recorded by the press since the Year 2000.
"It is very clear that the phenomenon is little known. We cannot think that it is an animal, but there are many unexplained things, such as the behavior of the attacked animals. Hens will not crow. We are witnessing strange behavior on the part of the attacker as well as the attacked," he emphasized.
Alberto Urquiza, a panelist with the "La Ley de la Selva" show, a ufologist and specialist in the subject, said that the attacks take place in a stealthy manner. "The wound inflicted is a single one and is characteristic to all cases. It's about the size of a finger seen head-on, not very large, which can be two to four centimeters deep. There is no blood to be found around the attacked animal; their hairs and feathers are bloodless and there is no blood to be found on the floor," he said.
The unknown predator's victims range from alpacas, pigs and sheep to dogs, cats and most poultry.
According to the hypotheses presented on the Chupacabras' origin, there are four on which investigators have come to rest their conclusions. Among them is the one set forth by psychiatrist and paranormal researcher Mario Dussuel, who stated that the first theory is that [the creature] is an experiment belonging to one of the great powers, such as the U.S.. The case that occurred in the northern part of the country--at the Radomiro Tomic mine, where a creature was captured -- coincided with the presence of U.S. aircraft, intuiting that Americans would be directly responsible for the genetic experiments with the feared "Chupacabras". The profile [of this hypothesis] was lowered after some time.
The second hypothesis is that the strange being has always existed on Earth. "It is an intelligent being that has known how to hide, which is why its remains have never been found," he added.
The third is based on the fact that our habitat contains an intraterrestrial environment complete with caves and underground shelters. "At a given time there was an intense burst of ultraviolet radiation that killed all of the dominant species at the time. Then came a civilization that hid under the earth to shelter itself," suggested the investigator.
The fourth hypothesis is related to UFOs, because flying objects have been seen coincidentally where the aforementioned creatures are reported. According to this line of thought, these specimens would have been left behind by ETs to study human reactions.
It is very hard to embrace any single one of these postures, believes Mario Dussuel, since their feasibility has yet to be established. This expert believes that the creature has existed always.
Researcher Liliana Núñez dismisses altogether that the creature is related in any way to the UFO phenomenon. "The UFO phenomenon in Chile has nothing to do with animal slayings. It would suffice to compile the published articles, which are in excess of 1500 worldwide. UFOs are not related in the least to these cases."

STRANGE ANIMAL TERRIFIES OFFICIALS AT LLANQUILHUE HOSPITAL
by Mauricio Burgos Aguirre
Since this weekend, medical center officials have witnessed the presence of the strange creature that has even tried to attack workers.
Terror and mystery hae enshrouded the Llanquilhue Hospital after a strange animal threatened to attack officials and even penetrated the offices of the medical center after dark.
The strange presence of this species was noticed last weekend, when feathers began turning up in various wings of the hospital, mainly in the sterilization room and in the boiler room.
Things remained a mystery until three functionaries saw an unknown animal wandering in broad daylight between the woodpiles in the back of the medical center.
"We had no idea what it was. I was with two colleagues and we saw this animal biting pieces of wood and then hiding" said Armin Levican, a boiler operator.
During the week the animal was seen in the sterilization room, where it supposedly spent the night, and where strange prints had already been seen.
According to initial hypotheses, the animal (allegedly a mink, originally believed to be the mythic Chupacabras) entered the Hospital through a pipe in a poor state of repair.
The animal remains at large. However, it is hoped that it will be caught in coming days to avoid possible attacks against people or animals living in the vicinity of the medical center.

SPECULATION ON ALLEGED CHUPACABRAS ATTACK IN COQUIMBO
by Patricio Borlone
At 0430 hours yesterday, an unknown animal attacked and killed 11 rabbits, two of which have gone missing, at a property in Peñuelas. The involvement of a dog has been discarded.
With extraordinary strength, ablee to break and shatter a 2 x 2 beam and the metal mesh of a 6 x 2 meter rabbit hutch, a strange animal slew six large rabbits apparently for the hell of it.
Minutes earlier it had sated its hunger destroying two so-called "maternity hutches", devouring four of the five bunniew sithin after destroying and fragmenting the two rear boards of the structure, which had been hammered together, displaying a physical strength not found in a large dog or any similar animal.
The event took place around 04:30 hours on Wednesday when the property's foreman, Carlos Adriazola, heard soft knocking sounds that caused him to take a look in the backyard with a halogen beam, casting light on the area. A dense fog, however, kept him from seeing anything. The noise died down after that action. Adriazola noted that "my room is only a few meters away from the pens. There are rabbits, hens, geese, llamas and a good number of little beasts to care for. When I got up I didn't feel anything. Of course, I was wakened by a sound of impacts against wood that isn't common here, much less at that time. I lit the area with my torch and since there was nothing to see, I went back to bed."
When he got up in the morning, he did his rounds and was confronted by the scene of ravaged cages and pens and the deaths of the rabbits. A total of thirteen animals was involved, two of them missing. Entrails of the species were also found.
"The fury with which the animal attacked leads us to think it wasn't a simple dog. I couldn't tell you what it was. I can't imagine a normal dog grabbing a thick wooden beam in its jaws, or else tearing out the mesh and lifting it. The small cages are made of interlocking wood, so it's hard to imagine a dog was involved, since they don't have that kind of strength. Furthermore, there a are fang marks on the boards and claw scratches. As a foreman, I know a lot about animals and I can tell you that a dog wasn't involved."
Doctor Vilma Valdivia Trujillo, a veterinarian with the Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG), took samples for subsequent study, but would not venture a diagnosis of what occured and limited herself to saying that she would maintain her silence. Eduardo Quiroz, the SAG's provincial chief, followed her action during the evaluation of the events.

MEXICO: CHUPACABRAS ALLEGEDLY REAPPEARS IN NUEVO LEON
Six goats were found dead last night in Rancho El Cadillo in the
municipality of Juarez, state of Nuevo Leon (Mexico).
The report came from Mr. Jesus Gel Gonzalez, the ranch's owner, at 10:03
p.m. Thursday night, when he advised the municipal police that six of his
animals had been found dead from very strange wounds to their bodies.
Police officers and Dr. Oscar Sanchez, director of the department of health
for Juarez, reported to the scene and found the carcasses of six goats
presenting very deep wounds on their necks. The injuries appeared to be
bite of some predatory animal, although what most surprised the officials
was the fact that there wasn't a drop of blood to be found in any of the
bodies.
The rancher stated having seen a creature standing 1.20 meters tall, grey
in color and with a 4-meter wingspan, whom he suspects it the culprit in
the goat slayings. He added that this is not the first time that animals
have been killed in such a way on his property, and that even some of his
dogs have disappeared.
Policemen reporting to the scene found some prints resembling large,
four-fingered claws, but were unable to determine the type of beast they
corresponded to. Dr. Sanchez said that these deaths are not normal, given
that a predator such as a puma or coyote would have ripped into the goats'
abdomen to feed on their organs. The creature responsible for the goat
deaths only sucked their blood, but what type of animal could have caused
this remains a mystery.

HAS THE MYSTERIOUS CHUPACABRAS RETURNED TO ENTRE RIOS?
The strange deaths of deer in a hunting preserve in the department of Uruguay has become a source of concern to local residents. These are female specimens that turned up mutilated and whose gentalia and reproductive organs were removed.
During recent days at the La Medalla Milagrosa ranch, located some 50 km from Concepción del Uruguay, near the banks of the Uruguay River, the events became a source of great concern among locals and left authorities mystified.
As could be observed, the animals had their genitalia and reproductive organs removed with incisions similar to the ones seen in bovines during 2002, a situation that caused a stir in various parts of the country.
In the light of these events, specialists in the study of UFOs and extraterrestrial life visited the site and covered 3000 hectares in search of evidence. Locals and persons in charge of the ranch claim having seen helicopters and allegedly luminous objects over the area, but there is not proof at this time to substantiate this. Uno was at the site yesterday and surveyed the preserve with Juan Rios, the person responsible for the site.
Rios stated that all of the animals had been found dead next to some of the barb wire fences that divide the parcels; another deer slain during early morning hours was found on the trail - a case that can be added to the ones found on previous days.
All of the deaths involve females whose reproductive organs, genitalia and anuses are missing, as well as part of their backs on the right side. Incisions appearing instantaneously cauterized cuts can be seen -- a circumstance which drew the notice of veterinarians, including the expert attached to the police. Moreover, all of the females were lying on the same side, with their necks twisted in the same way, as if they had received a strong electric shock, according to sources.
The La Medalla Milagrosa ranch is an important hunting preserve visited permanently by national and international political figures, top-level sportsmen and artists, who come to the country in strict secrecy to enjoy hunting vacations where distinctive samples of deer, buffalo, boar and antelope can be found.
The location is truly magnificent for activities of this sort, but has also been a source of attraction for poachers who cause damage to the facilities and steal valuable specimens that have been brought in for reproduction --situations that often represented great sacrifice by the owners when it came to fighting them with police assistance.
Juan Rios has been in charge of the site for some 10 years and is aware of what this represents, but what took place in recent days has left him intrigued. "We have found dead does along a 1000 meter stretch, [all of them] presenting strange incisions. No blows or bullet holes are visible, and there are no bloodstains in the are," he told Uno worriedly.
Rios assured us that a round and luminous object that rises and moves in an irregular manner can be seen periodicaly over the area, which has drawn his attention. Moreover, he said that local residents have seen black, unmarked helicopters descending, which are thought to be persons visiting the site to study what is going on.
"No one can explain what is going on. They say it already happened with other animals and that they took samples for analysis. The incisions are perfect and identical over the same part of the body. Burn marks produced by an electrical element are visible," he said, waiting for some sort of answer to the enigma, which has produced curiosity in the media. "We are constantly on watch every night, but nothing could be found. The animal that was killed early this morning (yesterday) we found with you, but in spite of being on guard, we neither heard nor saw anything."
There is no doubt that the event is a source of controversy. There are those who insist that it is the activity of a person who wishes to foster fear or uncertainty, but there are also those who claim that we face a non-terrestrial phenomenon. The fact is that it all resembles what has been going on for little more than three years, when on June 26 2002 the first case of mutilated cattle was found on the shores of the Uruguay River before spreading to the rest of the province. The method of incision is very similar, with the difference being that the cows were being found without jaws or tongues at that time. With time, everything became anecdotal and forgotten, but the phenomenon has arisen again.
Strange though it may seem, persons dedicated to exobiology reported to the site.
Ernesto Eduardo Lavorde, 63, a native of Gualeguaychu and host of the Enigma de los Tiempos radio show, participates in many meetings or conferences on the subject. Given his specialty, Lavorde acknowledges having been a witness to events of these characteristics. In a conversation with Uno, he highlighted that many UFO landing sites have been found in Gualeguaychu, which have been corroborated by scientists.
"These events lead us to believe that there is something behind all of this that is related to the subject. I think we could be witnessing a creature facing extinction and for this reason it is experimenting with animal organs, said Lavorde, who believes in the existence of aliens, intraterrestrials and ultraterrestrials.

Chupacabra: A flying, blood-sucking kangaroo?
12/26/2005 18:12
A woman saw Chupacabra attacking a domestic animal and described the beast as a creature resembling kangaroo with fangs and wicked red eyes.
The phenomenon of Chupacabra, or a goat vampire, appeared in Puerto-Rico mountains in the middle of 1995. Some unknown monster was killing cattle in the town of Canovanas and its outskirts by drinking all of their blood. When farmers found dead animals it turned out they had no blood at all. It seemed as if their blood had been sucked out through one or two tiny wounds. A local veterinary examined several dead animals and said those were wounds of a straw diameter and from three to four inches long. The deaths of domestic animals were really mysterious and spread terrible panic over the place in September of 1995.
A woman saw Chupacabra attacking a domestic animal and described the beast as a creature resembling kangaroo with fangs and wicked red eyes. Another eyewitness from Canovanas, Misael Negron, said the creature was "about four feet high. It had dinosaur skin, bright red eyes of a chicken egg size, long fangs and thorns on the back of the head and all along the back." The beast attacked the man's goat. Similar incidents occurred to many other citizens of the town.
In November, information about the goat vampire spread outside Puerto-Rico. Luis Guadalupe described the beast as "ugly as a demon and flying in the air." The man also added that the creature had a pointed tongue of a snake. What was the creature in fact? Some people said domestic animals were attacked by wolves, vampires or even a devil. Others believe it was an extraterrestrial being.
Puerto-Rico has been the haunt of UFOs for a very log period. It was rumored about USA's secret army bases and mysterious luminescence in the sky. What was going on in Puerto-Rico? Is it just a coincidence that Aresibo observatory is located in the northern part of the island? One thing is for sure that rumors and fears will be spreading until the mystery is happily solved.
People say that one can the smell of sulfur when Chupacabra appears. Eyewitness Madelyne Tolentino said: "The beast was jumping like a kangaroo, and it smelled of sulfur." In some occurences the creature demonstrated its supernatural strength. People said that once it pulled down heavy metal gate of 16 to 14 feet in size to get to the shed where animals stood. It was supposed that the smell accompanying the beast was in fact the instrument making animals motionless so that Chupacabra could suck their blood.
In some cases not only animals but even people fell victims to the terrible monster. Angel Pulido from Jalisco confessed he had been bitten by creature "resembling a giant bat looking like a witch." In Mexico, Teodora Reyes demonstrated marks supposedly left by Chupacabra's claws.
Recent information about Chupacabra came from California, Texas, Miami and Baja California. The beast was spotted many times in Mexico as well. One of the first attacks of Chupacabra was registered in Tucson, Arizona, where the beast attacked Billy Nubian's two goats. The man described the beast as a huge rat-like creature that let out a shriek when detected and ran away.
A dog with two marks resembling needle pricks on the neck was found in Baja California. As of today, it is the only report about Chupacabra that has come from Baja California. Sixty-nine animals of farmers were killed overnight in Miami. The animals belonged to two farming families living in Sweewater who appeared on TV to say that had been Chupacabra's evil doing. Some terrible killings were also registered in Panama. Daisy Arauz said the monster killed their family dog. More information about dead animals with marks on their necks comes from countryside.

Chupacabras, Toasted Cat or Giant Bat?
This is a television news broadcast from 10 years ago.

Blood-sucking chupacabra goes on rampage in Russian villages
In Russia the first evidence has appeared of a half mythical creature which sucks blood from animals, even large ones. Abroad it is known under the name chupacabra. No one knows for certain what it looks like, but in 2005 a farmer in Texas caught in a trap something looking like a cross between a bald dog, a rat and a kangaroo, which was sucking blood out of his chickens and turkeys.
And now a mystery bloodsucker has appeared around Orenburg. The worries began at the end of March 2005 not far from the regional centre of Saraktash. On the Sapreka farm two farming families suddenly lost 32 turkeys. The bodies of the birds, found in the morning, had been completely drained of blood. None of the farmers either saw or heard the beast that killed them.
Then in the village of Gavrilovka sheep fell victim to the night-time vampire. The unknown animal was also in the hamlets of Vozdvizhenka and Shishma. In the course of the night 3-4 sheep or goats perished. All together the losses in the region amounted to 30 small horned cattle.
The vampire distinguishes itself through its high intelligence. The farmer had just propped the door to the stable, where 8 sheep were housed, shut using an iron bar. The beast threw off the prop and gnawed on four sheep. In the villages people have begun to be afraid of going out into the yard late in the evening and even more so onto the street. The bravest people have kept watch during the night in the hope of picking off the animal.
According to testimonies from villagers, they found traces of bite marks on the throats of the dismembered animals which looked like bullet wounds. Suggestions that it may have been a wolf or a lynx have been refuted. First of all, wolves and dogs eat the meat, gnaw on the carcass, but the mysterious creature merely drank the blood of its prey. A regional specialist for hunting surveillance team, Vasiliy Nechaev, says that lynxes are too cautious, do not approach humans, that even in the winter they are unlikely to enter the village. "Furthermore they attack from behind, whereas there were wounds on the side of the sheep under their lower jaw," he reasons.
Nevertheless there is some evidence about the baffling creature. As Erbulat Isbasov recalls, he came into contact with it when he was guarding the sheep's enclosure. "I heard the sheep start to bleat loudly. I run up to them and see a black shadow. It looked like a enormous dog that had stood up on its hind legs. And jumped like a kangaroo. The beast sensed my presence and ran away. It squeezed through an opening in the panels of the fence."
A few days later Erbulat saw the animal again, after it had left behind a half-metre long ram. This time, when it was running away from the man, the creature easily jumped over the the fence of the compound. The young men managed to glimpse that the animal is about 1.2 metres tall, and has something like a hump on its back. In the daytime Isbasov discovered some deep claw marks and a clump of ginger-grey fur on the fence.
Alfiya Makasheva who lost two sheep talked of a whole pack of bloodsuckers: "One large creature was reddish, the other dark grey, and behind them a brood of puppies. In the middle of the enclosure the "red" one was turning its head, and was standing on its hind legs, as if it was thinking about something."
Dmitriy Madinovskii from Orenburg found out about the vampire from his relatives living in Vozdvizhenka. He suspected that the sheep were killed by an animal similar to the legendary South American chupacabra, and decided to track down the animal.
In September 2005 Dmitriy was sailing on the Sakmara river with his friends. About 30-40 kilometres from Vozdvizhenka he noticed two rows of tracks, leading down to the water on the sandy bank. Judging by the depth of the impressions, the creature weighed 30-35 kg. On the pentadactyl paw there were 2-centimetre long claws and membranes. Its tail was dragging in between its paws. The distance between the impressions was about one metre. They photographed the tracks just in case, but neither hunters nor zoologists could say what animal had left them.
"It's definitely a chupacabra! It has small front and large hind paws. To begin with the animal was walking on four legs, stood on its hind legs at the water, lifting up its long tail, and then started jumping like a kangaroo," he says. In May Dmitry is determined to seek out the Russian chupacabra along with colleagues from the Ural Ufology Monitoring Station.
Chupacabra, a Spanish word meaning "goat bloodsucker" is a phenomenon which first appeared in mid 1995 in the hills of Puerto Rico. Something strange was killing all the cattle in and around the town of Canovanasa, drinking all their blood. When the corpses were discovered, it turned out that the blood had been sucked out of two small entry wounds (like pin-pricks). The wounds were usually the same diameter as a straw and three-four inches long," said the local vet who examined several of the bodies.
From 1994 onwards in Mexico, Chile, Peru, Nicaragua, and southern USA bodies of domestic cats, cows and birds, which have had all the blood sucked out of them. According to shepherds, the mysterious beast that attacks the birds and animals is 1-1.2 metres in height. Many remark that the its front limbs are small, some even see wings, or a ridge on its back. The chupacabra's body is either like a reptile or a dog, its head is elongated, it has membranes between its claws, and has light fur like a bat.
The existence of the chupacabra has not been proven for certain. But among cryptozoologists it has become just as much of an accepted character as the 'yeti'.
