Chupacabra Videos and Reported Sightings Increase

Chupacabra Capture?

Another man captured what he suspected was a chupacabra at his farm after some of his animals had been mysteriously killed. The chupacabra (or whatever it was) he trapped has been sent to Texas Wildlife Management for identification. Are increased reports of the sightings of this mythical creature an omen? The video below is of this Texas farmer who supposedly trapped the little blood sucker.

Other sightings have been reported, and YouTube has any number of videos reporting supposed chupacabras. One such video, which appears to be from Sonora Mexico, reveals two stalwart Mexican chupacabra hunters getting the pants scared off of them in 2006. Even if the mysterious creature does not exist, you could not prove it by these guys.

...For those who do not know, the chupacabra is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. The creature is supposed to be something of a cross between a dog, a rat, and a kangaroo, and one which sucks the blood of small prey like goats and chickens. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed from as early as 1990 from Puerto Rico to Maine, but as of yet no proof of their existence has come to light. In one Puerto Rico incident, which added greatly to the legend, 8 sheep were discovered dead from loss of blood via what appeared to be puncture wounds in their chests. An eye witness also claimed she saw the elusive monster in another reported attack where as many as 150 animals died similarly.
