Full Version: El Chupacabra
Now, there is no proof that this thing exist, but there have been 1,000s of unexplained animal deaths in Central and South America. I just simply want to know everyones opinion on El Chupacabra.

either on the internet, or its just his opinion
its a nice story, theres just been no actual proof i guess. like pictures or vids. they just find dead animals. but who knows, it may just do a good job of avoiding people.
Can somebody please learn how to use the search facility provided by the webmaster? It's very handy not always available on any forum!
Maybe the Chupacabra is just some farmer who wanted to teach his goats a lesson. In doing so, he decided that killing one would be neccesary. But then people got all angry and scared because all the blood was gone, when really the farmer was just Vampiric. This can all be explained people, you just have to think outside of what people tell you it is.
I just watched a show called "Beyond Truth" on SciFi last Wednesday. Their was striking evidence that this Chubrakkallaakkaaa (don't know hoe it's spelt so made that up) is related to or immediate descendance of the FERRET!!! I kid you not. Look up the show on SciFi.com
I don't usually get into the chupacabra debate, but She-ra is right. On that horrible Sci-Fi Channel show "Destination Truth" they presented the theory that this ferret-like animal could explain some of the attacked reported to be from el chupacabra. There has been very little conclusive evidence of this beastie other than eyewitness accounts and mutalated animals. And the mutalated animals can be atributed to normal decay processes. I'm not convinced that this cryptid exists.
Yes hun you're right. That was the name of the show. Thanks for correcting me (oops!) 
^ weird
got a totally different view on this cryptid now. too bad that Kage guy isnt here to see this. he'd be surprised

^Or calling us "Profanist", whatever that may in God's green earth means!
LOL... okay did I do something BAD? I don't understand the last 2 replies. *runs away*
^No, dear. We're cool with you, it's a certain annoying guy we've been talking about.
*peeks out*
Ok cool THANKS!!!!!
Ok cool THANKS!!!!!
Well, i do not think chupacacacaabrbarbaba or whatever exists but i do think alot of undiscovered creatures exists.
Still think it exists alont with many other Crypto creatures out there. I just wish Cryptozoology was more popular now a days then it you to be. It seems to be slowly dying out!
Okay, first of all, is there any Perto Rican here? Or someone please grab any of your Puerto Rican friend and ask them about this creature, keep asking it until you know the one who knows for sure. Now git!

Ahh, finally caught on did they, well it was the astute UM member by the handle of ranchero that discovered that one with three very likely candidates making up the legend. It sure has been a day of rehashing facts for rehashed silly theories.

Have a look at this critter, Nasua Narica, coati, in Mexico called the tejon.
I ranch in a mountainous part of Mexico where we get attacks on farm animals and dogs in the area on occasion usually during the dry season and usually by the relatively rare solitary male tejones that are chased out of their family pack group and with their mountain food supplies dried up, no fruit, berries or small lizards or insects, etc, so they come into the wetter and settled valley areas to hunt and scavenge.
Male Tejones have much of the attributes of the supposed chupacabra. They spend most of their time in tree tops and prefer to leap from tree to tree rather than climbing down. They can also leap tremendous distances on the ground like a kangaroo, I've seen 25 or 30 foot jumps and as well they climb vertical stone and adobe walls both up or down like a squirrel. Their activity in lowlands is nocturnal and few people have seen them or would recognize one as they are uncommon except as the much smaller Coatimundi form.
The size of the males is large, often 15 kgs or more, almost the size of a coyote, extremely vicious and have a weird way of killing much larger animals when hunting at night. They roll on their back and act like they are injured or dead and when a dog, cow or goat comes sniffing around they grab it by the throat with their small mouth full of needle-like teeth and then stick one of their paws with about 1 inch claws in and rip out a hole along with whatever veins or trachea they can dislodge and the animal usually bleeds to death as they hang on until it stops moving. As the tejon is a carnivore I have no doubt that they suck up the blood as that is what their nose is designed to do. Sucking and gobbling insects from leaf litter and rotten logs is one of the coatis food sources and it's not a far stretch to think they enjoy the salty treat of blood as most carnivorous animals do. The coatis territorial range is also in areas where chupacabra attacks have been reported including the southern US, Mexico and South America. As they are often kept as pets until the males of the species become too large or dangerous to handle one or more of these could have been released in Puerto Rico as well.
This photo is of a coati or tejon, probably a male on all fours, but occasionaly they are seen with their tail folded under, standing upright about 3 to 4 feet tall, like a small bear. This one is in a calm state but when exited or aggressive their back hairs stand up like spikes about 4 inches or longer and they piss all over leaving a musky type odor. They are completely fearless and in the dark their eyes reflect any light like most carnivores.
Now imagine one of these nasty little buggers at night all covered in blood and muck with his back hairs standing on end running and jumping around like a demon, hissing and screaming like a miniature hyena with eyes shining...most unarmed and uneducated farmers just stay inside their houses until the dust settles
and call it work of the devil...
For many years the solitary large male Coatis and the small social Coatimundis were considered different species as the social packs of Coatimundi have completely different behavior and reject older males from the pack except during mating season, because of the male Coatis aggressive and cannibalistic actions. Solitary male Coatis behavior has been little studied due to their rarity and nocturnal habit.

I firmly believe the mystery was solved right here at UM. Check out the thread for the piccy.
Can't you noobs do a search instead of starting a new thread, how many Chuppa threads are there? It is not necroposting if you have something new to add, it is necroposting if you answer a several month old, or on many cases, a several year old question, generally with some stupid quip like "yeah, they duz exzizt." Just as frustrating is the inane starting of a new thread on the same old cryptids with a real clever starter like "Do you think they exist?".
Use the search Luke.
^I somewhat believed you...nande?

I agree with you! I'm really fascinated with Cryptozoology. Man, I want to be a cryptozoologist someday! XD
Oh, a Chuppy topic. How very original.
A lot of sightings of the Chupacabra have described it as a dog like creature.
Ferret = mustelid. Dog = canid. Mustelids and canids = split off from common ancestor (along with bears and raccoons). If you 'do the math,' the ferret idea seems somewhat sensible.

One of my friends went to Puerto Rico... Apparently it's a big joke there. I think it's gotta be some sort of Reptile or large Bat.

Thank you, it is very sensible isn't it.
If one was to follow the link and read ranchero's post, we can see that a candidate exists in all areas that Chuppa has been spotted, in addition, the creatures do lap blood from open wounds, making a "kill" site clean of blood, and offering a lapping sound which one could easily confuse for suckling. To top it all off, the creatures in question do fit the general Chuppa description. Check out the links ranchero provided, great pictures that are more than convincing.
The shoe fits

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but haven't there been Chupacabra reports in Florida? I didn't think that the ferret-thing lived in Florida?

Hrrmzz, Aint that gonna cheese the Skunk ape off, It's his turf isn't it?
Maybe a newer report, I've not heard it, was it only the one?
There is an American candidate amongst the four suspects that I strongly belive make up the one Chuppa, check ranchero's post, I am sure you will enjoy it. He has described the creature's habits and matched them very well with the reports.
Remember, 4 ferret thingys make up the legend in this hypothesis
