Chupacabra the Goatsucker Vampire Sightings Reported in Central Russia

For the first time in history, the mysterious Puerto-Rican Chupacabra vampire has been spotted in Russia.
Reports of a beast that kills animals and sucks on their blood came from a village in Central Russia back in March 2005, when a farm had 32 turkeys killed overnight. The beast left the corpses bloodless, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily said.
Then reports came from neighboring villages, where more than 30 sheep and goats fell victim to the vampire. Again, the blood had been drained from corpses but the flesh remained intact. All the slaughtered animals had similar puncture wounds on their necks, different from the marks that wolves, dogs or lynx leave on their victims.
Finally, eyewitness descriptions match the traditional description of the Chupacabra, said to resemble a kangaroo and a dog with huge teeth.
“I heard the sheep bleating loudly, and when I approached the barn I saw a black shadow, like a big dog standing on its hind legs. It leaped like a kangaroo — when it spotted me it ran away,” says Yerbulat Isbasov, 18, who guards sheep in the village of Gavrilovka.
Yerbulat saw the beast again in a few days’ time, and described it as a 1.2 meter high animal with a hump on its back.
Alfia Makasheva saw a whole pack of vampires in her yard.
“One was a huge reddish thing, another was dark grey, and they were being followed by a pack of pups. In the middle of the yard the red one turned its head and got up on the hind legs, as if it was thinking.”
When Dmitry Madinovsky from Orenburg heard about the beast, he suggested it could be the legendary Chupakabra, and set off to look for it. In the woods near the Sakmara river he discovered two rows of tracks that could belong to an animal of some 35 kilos in weight. The tracks were of five-toed paws with claws and webbed fingers, and a tail that dragged between them. Zoologists could not identify the animal from photos of the prints.
“It is definitely a Chupakabra! Small front and big hind legs,” Madinovsky says. “The animal first walked on all fours, near the water it got up on its hind legs, raised its tail and leapt away like a kangaroo.”
This May Madinovsky and the Urals Anomaly Monitoring Station experts are determined to track the animal down.
Experts sink teeth into goat-sucker
Goat-sucker stories have circulated for centuries
By Central American correspondent Peter Greste
For centuries, Central Americans have spoken of a mysterious and terrible vampire-like creature that roams the countryside, slaying livestock by sucking out their blood.
The chupacabra creatures are said to attack their victims at night, leaving a trail of carcasses with their throats torn out.
These remains are said to be of a chupacabra
Despite the stories, and many people's unshakeable belief in the chupacabras, nobody has ever been able to find any material evidence - until now.
A farmer in Nicaragua claims to have shot and killed one of the creatures as it attacked his own flock of goats.
The farmer Jose Luis Talavera described how he staked out his ranch one night after at least 70 sheep and goats had been drained of blood and saw two chupacabras among the flock.
"We shot at them in the distance," he said.
"We hit one and wounded it, but they both ran away before we could catch them."
He described the creature as having the naked skin of a bat, and a head like a bull, with a crocodile-like crest running down its neck.
Evidence
Mr Talavera said he later found the decaying skeleton in the mouth of a cave near his farm outside Malpaisillo, a rural town about 45 kilometres north-west of Managua, and handed it over to the local authorities for examination.
Now, zoologists like Edmundo Torres, of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua. have given their verdict.
"It's a dog, without any room for doubt," he said.
"This is a common dog. There are no fangs or anything that could suck blood," according to another university official, Dr Carlos Alberto Gomez.

The explanation has not satisfied Mr Talavera, though.
"The animal that was discovered in that rural zone was different from a mere dog," he insisted.
"Its teeth were rose-coloured and it reared up on its hind legs to suck the blood from at least 120 sheep."
Omen
Others in the region too have spoken darkly of what the coming of the chupacabra means.
One protestant preacher Francisco Ortiz said the creature was a "wake-up call" heralding the end of the world.
Its a signal to men and women that we're going home to God

"The light is yellow, but it could change to red at any moment," he said.
"Its a signal to men and women that we're going home to God."
However, a local feminist group that has been encouraging women to raise their own sheep to win financial independence had its own theory.
The group suggested that a Nicaraguan patriarchy unleashed the creature to hold on to power.
Anthropologists say the legend of the mysterious chupacabras is centuries old, and spans the length of the Andes and Central America.
Local believers have blamed all manner of ills on the creature, from losses of livestock to bad fortune. Despite the official verdict about the latest discovery, many are still convinced that the chupacabras are very much alive and very dangerous.
