Specialists described the animal as an uncommon species after a careful examination of its skeleton. It presents yellow hair on its short tail, large eye-sockets, soft skin like that of a bat, large claws and fangs, and a crest on its main vertebrae. Could this be the Chupacabras? A team of biologists and veterinarians from Leon must now answer the question.

LEON.- the skeleton of the animal that slaked its thirst with the blood of sheep on the San Lorenzo farm, owned by Jorge Luis Talavera and located at Km. 154 of Malpaisillo, was found in the early morning hours of monday some 80 meters away from the paddock where it procured its victims.

"The creature could be a hybrid of several species, created in a laboratory by means of genetic engineering," noted Giocconda Chevez, Malpaisillo's veterinarian.

Jorge Talavera explained that three days ago he opened fire against the alleged Chupacabras using a shotgun, causing its death and resuting in its flesh being devoured by vultures. The creature was in an advancedstate of decomposition by the time it was discovered. "We had to kill it. In 15 days it sucked 25 sheep, and my neighbor lost 35 sheep in 10 days. It was an average of 5 sheep and goats a night," he explained.

Captain Leonardo Carmona, head of the Malpaisillo Crime Lab, indicated that the animal's remains are to be studied at the Hospital Escuela de Leon (Leon Teaching Hospital), where veterinarians and biologists shall be on hand to examine it, according to a report by Edgard Orozco, who is in charge of the Department of Forensic Medicine.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua - A team of university scientists has ruled that a mysterious skeleton recovered in northern Nicaragua is that of an ordinary dog rather than
the feared and fabled chupacabras, a sort of Latin American cross between the Abominable Snowman and Count Dracula, which is said to suck the blood out of livestock.

The Discovery this week set off an uproar that had one Nicaraguan churchman warning the end of the world was at hand, while journalists called from as far away as Australia for details.

But biologists and zoologists from the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua campus in Leon who examined the skeleton said it was not a cross between a wolf and a crocodile, as some local agricultural officials had described it, but just a dog.

The explanation didn't sit well with Jose Luis Talavera, the farmer who claims to have shot the beast and could now lose his notoriety as a Chupacabras Slayer.

"That animal that was discovered in that rural zone was different than a mere dog," insisted Talavera. "Its teeth were rose-colored. It reared up on its hind legs and sucked the blood from at least 120 sheep."
Talavera discovered the skeleton in the mouth of a cave Aug. 28 near his farm about 45 miles northwest of Managua.

Fajardo, Puerto Rico
The fearsome animal known as "Chupacabras" reappeared in a central sector of Fajardo where it allegedly slew two rabbits, "sucking" all of their blood, and leaving a goat at death’s door. Domingo Ramos, 70, told Police that he had witnessed the macabre activity of the Chupacabras as it killed his rabbits and tried to drain his goat’s blood. As of the close of this edition, the animal was still alive with what little blood remained in its body.

The time was around 2:00 a.m. Monday when Domingo, residing at Fajardo’s Desvío Street, heard a "ruckus" out by his rabbit cages and when he looked through the window, was appalled by the sight of a giant bird with large wings and bulging eyes slaking its thirst with his animals’ blood. The bird, which Domingo said could measure over 5 feet in height, practically attacked his goat in a single motion and drained its blood by biting near the heart.

The "Chupacabras" jumped and flew off toward parts unknown as Domingo began shouting. In an exclusive interview with EL VOCERO, Domingo compared the "Chupacabra" with a gigantic "guaraguao" (falcon) but with a practically human face.

This case was then investigated by the Puerto Rico Police as yet another in which it is alleged that the animal dubbed "Chupacabras" has attacked domestic animals on the island’s
eastern reaches.

The Onion
LUBBOCK, TX—Will Reiser, an expert in the field of unsubstantiated creatures, was duped again Tuesday, when he said he'd finally found proof of the existence of the elusive Chupacabra, a quill-covered creature that feasts on the blood of livestock. "The right shank of the goat carcass I discovered on my doorstep bore the Chupacabra's distinctive cross-hatched fang pattern," Reiser said. "I have to say I'm surprised that the quills poking out of the body so closely resemble those of the hedgehog indigenous to this area." Reiser's next-door neighbor, Dan Swelter, is currently laughing his ass off.

In August 2007, Phylis Canion found three animals in Cuero, Texas. She and her neighbors purported to have discovered three strange animal carcasses outside Canion's property. She took photographs of the carcasses and preserved the head of one in her freezer before turning it over for DNA analysis. Canion reported that nearly 30 chickens on her farm had been exsanguinated over a period of years, a factor which led her to connect the carcasses with the chupacabra legend. State Mammologist John Young estimated that the animal in Canion's pictures was a Gray Fox suffering from an extreme case of mange. In November 2007, biology researchers at Texas State University–San Marcos determined from DNA samples that the suspicious animal was merely a coyote.
