chupacabra!!!!!

[mitain]

The Chupacabra, Spanish for "goat sucker ", first made the news in 1994, after several attacks were reported in Puerto Rico. The following year, in August of 1995, 150 animals were attacked in Canvanas, Puerto Rico, and according to reports, similar attacks have since been reported from Mexico, Central America, South America, and Chile, to the Southern United States.
Another strange animal thought to be the Chupacabra was the Elmendorf Beast, a canine like creature shot in Elmendorf, Texas, in August 2004. Although an initial DNA test proved inconclusive, a second test was performed and determined that the animal was a coyote with mange. Sightings of several animals matching the Elmendorf Beast have been reported in the area. Many are still skeptical over the test results.

What has people mystified is the manner in which the animals are killed...The victims' blood is drained from their bodies, and in some cases internal organs have been said to have been removed, although nothing more than two puncture wounds in the neck are found. Animals reported to have been killed by the Chupacabra include chickens, rabbits, goats, and horses.

Eye witnesses have described the Chupacabra as being a bipedal, reptilian type creature, standing 3-4 foot tall , with long, muscular hind legs and small bat like arms. It is said to be greenish or grey in color, and hairless, with a row of spikes or ridges running from the top of it's head down along it's spine. I has also been reported to have extremely large, red eyes and most notably, long fangs.
One of the more notorious eye witness sightings occurred in Varginha, Brazil on January 20, 1996. Following a UFO sighting, a creature was witnessed by three girls, Liliane and Valaquira Fatima, and Andrade Xavier, who claimed to have seen a biped creature standing about 1.6m, tall, with a large head and very thin body, brown skin, large red eyes and V-shaped feet. The creature's similarities to eye witness descriptions of the Chupacabra have led many to believe that Chupacabras are in fact extraterrestrial beings. The Varginha Incident
According to NBC4-News, the animal found in Coleman, Texas has been transported to a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department lab for testing to try and determine it's origins. A spokesman for the TPWD, Tom Harvey, remains skeptical. "If you want my take on it, I think it's a hoax... From the photos I've seen, this could be a White Tailed Deer fawn." Mr.Harvey said he had yet to hear a report on the animal, but hopes to have more information by tomorrow morning. An update will be posted as soon as one is available.
*Update - Mr.Harvey has now spoken to Wildlife Division Director Mike Berger about the animal trapped in Coleman. Berger, who contacted the regional director in West Texas, Ruben Cantu, for more information, reported that they confirmed that "the 'chupacabra' is a Mexican folk tale, not a real beast." From the photos they've seen of the Coleman animal, they feel that it may be a coyote. According to Mr.Harvey, he hasn't found any evidence that this animal was ever handed over to The Texas Parks ans Wildlife Department. "I don't think anyone with our agency has it or knows who has it....it's possible that no one ever had this animal in custody...possibly someone took a photo of a dead coyote or other animal, doctored it a little and started spreading this hoax."
It seems only Mr.Laglow and his chickens know for sure.

[mickey]

Here in Lebanon he have in the mountains what we call "NEMES"
It usually attacks cats. Sucks they necks till they die and it is very fast. Three days ago a "NEMES" killed one of my cats
Wish I can attack him and kill him.

Thanks Mitain For sharing

No dude, wild cat = lynx = cheetah
nemes = belette (in french) = weasel (in english). And it's never like cats looking.

chupacabra

The chupacabra ("goat sucker") is an animal said to be unknown to science and systemically killing animals in places like Puerto Rico, Miami, Nicaragua, Chile, and Mexico. The creature's name originated with the discovery of some dead goats in Puerto Rico with puncture wounds in their necks and their blood allegedly drained. According to UFO Magazine (March/April 1996) there have been more than 2,000 reported cases of animal mutilations in Puerto Rico attributed to the chupacabra.
Puerto Rican authorities maintain that the deaths are due to attacks from groups of stray dogs or other exotic animals, such as the panther, illegally introduced in the island's territory. The director of Puerto Rico's Department of Agriculture Veterinary Services Division, Hector Garcia, has stated that there is nothing unusual or extraordinary about the cases they've observed. One veterinarian said "it could be a human being who belongs to a religious sect, even another animal. It could also be someone who wants to make fun out of the Puerto Rican people."
Like other creatures in the cryptozoologist's barnyard, the chupacabra has been variously described. Some witnesses have seen a small half-alien, half-dinosaur tailless vampire with quills running down its back; others have seen a panther like creature with a long snake-like tongue; still others have seen a hopping animal that leaves a trail of sulfuric stench. Some think it may be a type of dinosaur heretofore unknown. Some are convinced that the wounds on animals whose deaths have been attributed to the chupacabra indicate an alien presence. However, they do not attribute the "mutilations" to the aliens themselves, but to one of their pets or experiments gone awry. Such creatures are known as Anomalous Biological Entities [ABEs] in UFO circles.
Those who think the chupacabra is an ABE also believe that there is a massive government and mass media conspiracy to keep the truth hidden from the people, probably to prevent panic. This view is maintained despite the fact that the President of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives Agricultural Commission, Mr. Juan E. [Kike] Lopez, introduced a resolution asking for an official investigation to clarify the situation. Inside Edition sent a crew to Puerto Rico to investigate the ABE story. They allegedly ridiculed the Mayor of Canavanas, a witness to the chupacabra, and basically made fun of the whole idea.
Jorge Martin, a Puerto Rican journalist who describes himself as a "leading UFO researcher," reports that it has been brought to his attention that the U.S. and Puerto Rican governments have captured two of the creatures. Perhaps there will soon be a film on the ABE autopsy to rival the discredited alien autopsy film. Martin cautions us not to exclude other reasonable possibilities.

The ABEs can also be the product of highly sophisticated genetic manipulations by human agencies. A Chinese-Russian scientist by the name of Dr. Tsian Kanchen, has produced genetic manipulations which have created new species of electronically-crossed plant and animal organisms. Kanchen developed an electronic system whereby he can pick up the bioenergetic field of the DNA of living organisms and transfer it electronically to other living organisms. By these means he has created incredible new breeds of ducks/chickens, with physical characteristics of both species; goats/rabbits, and new breeds of plants such as corn/wheat, peanut/sunflower seeds and cucumber/watermelons. These are produced by linking the genetic data of different living organisms contained in their bioenergetic fields by means of ultra-high frequencies biological linking. If the Russians have created this technology, then without doubt the US and other powers have too. Therefore, it is quite possible that the "Chupacabras" or ABEs could have been developed by humans. [Martin]

Martin goes on to report that a chupacabra has been killed and blood tests have been done on the creature.

The genetic analysis so far has revealed that the blood is in no way compatible with human blood nor with any animal species known to science. The traces ratio of magnesium, phosphorous, calcium and potassium are incompatible with those of normal human blood, they are much too high. The albumen/glouline [RG ratio] was also incompatible. The ratios found do not allow the results of the analysis to be compatible with those of any known animal species.
At present, we can't place the sample with any earthly organism. Therefore it could well be the product of a highly sophisticated genetic manipulation, an organism alien to our own environment or perhaps extraterrestrial. [Martin]

I suppose Martin's work is what passes for responsible journalism on some planets in the universe. On the other hand, the sightings may not be all that accurate, the "mutilations" not all that strange, and the evidence for these bodies, autopsies and blood tests remains little more than speculation for the most part. However, one alleged chupacabra was killed in Nicaragua and was examined by scientists at the Autonomous National University of Nicaragua. When the scientists revealed that the carcass was that of a common dog, they were met with skepticism and derision. Nobody wants to read a story with the headline: Chupacabra turns out to be Chihuahua.
