The Truth about Mexico’s mythical Chupacabra creature

The Chupacabra or “Goat Sucker” has been the topic of legends among families of South America for many years. An elusive creature that has managed to slip through all trace of detection has made itself known in recent days. Farmers have described the Chupacabra as an evil creature with red glowing eyes, a beast that walks on its hind legs, resembles a dog like alien creature that only comes out at night; and sucks the blood from helpless livestock. Crystal Grant, a very successful veterinarian located in Skiatook Oklahoma, has studied this creature for most of her professional career. Mrs. Grant states “ This is the top dog of the K-9 species” she goes on to explain if the Chupacabra is actually a real creature, it would have supernatural powers that would be out of this world.

    Deloria offered many negative points about American anthropologists, but he also provided a sense of credibility by stating that he spent many years in the reservations studying and learning about the “real” Indians. However, it was not enough credibility or an evidence. It still makes me questioning his paper by him clamming to spent a lot of time in the reservations. There are some anthropologists who also spent a lot of time in the reserve yet are unable to accurately portray the Indians. Since he created such a strong opinion, I feel that it is only fair for him to also support it with something as strong and reliable. Nevertheless, Deloria did a good job in helping the readers stay on track on this lengthy article by highlighted his idea and emphasized his view by writing certain words or phrases in all capital…

    The original sighting of the Chupacabra was described as being a reptilian skinned beast that hops around on its hind legs, similar to a kangaroo, with large red eyes, spikes down its spine, and ferocious fangs (Hill, 2015, p. 2). Michael Negron, a student from Puerto Rico, described his encounter with the creature: “I was looking off the balcony one night, and I saw it step out of a bright light in the back yard. It was three or four feet tall, with skin like that of a dinosaur, it had bright eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and multicolored spikes down its head and back.” Another description of the beast, which is more recent, is one with a more canine appearance with, again, large fangs, spikes down its spine, large claws, and lacking the hair or fur of a typical dog (Team Chupa, 2015, p.…
