Although it may seem like a joke from the 2000s, images of livestock killed under mysterious circumstances have been circulating on social media. These animals have not been eaten, leading people to suspect the notorious “Chupacabra.” The latest attack reportedly occurred in Veracruz. Residents of the Quetzapotitla community, part of Tlaquilpa in the Zongolica mountain range of Veracruz, Mexico, have reported the presence of a strange creature they believe to be the Chupacabra. According to social media posts, this creature has been attacking and killing cows, sheep, and goats. The concern is so real that they have formally requested assistance from the authorities. There are nine victims of an animal attack believed to be a Chupacabra. Residents claim that the suspected Chupacabra attacks their livestock by biting and inflicting severe wounds on the neck or lower abdomen, sometimes dismembering its victims. They have captured images of these grisly scenes in their fields. Despite finding animals in such conditions, the bodies are not devoured or completely taken away as would be expected with natural predators in the region. This has led some to speculate that the culprit might be a jaguar or panther. However, they find this unlikely, as other livestock shows no signs of injury, and the victims are not consumed. In the last few hours, at least nine dead animals have been reported, prompting hopes that the municipal police will intervene. To raise public awareness, the residents have shared their concerns on social media. The Chupacabra, which means “goat-sucker” in Spanish, is a legendary creature in folklore that is said to attack livestock, especially goats, and drink their blood. Reports of the Chupacabra began in the mid-1990s in Puerto Rico, but similar stories have appeared in various parts of Latin America and the southern United States. Descriptions of the creature vary, but it is often depicted as a reptilian creature with spikes down its back, or more recently, as a hairless dog-like animal. Despite numerous reported sightings and attacks, the existence of the Chupacabra remains unproven, with many attributing the phenomena to other predators or even hoaxes.
