What is a Chupacabra? For many decades, this question has haunted the inhabitants of different countries of the world.
The monster goes hunting at night, leaving the bloodless corpses of poultry, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, horses and even bulls in the barnyard. The animal's blood is sucked out by the animal through one or two small holes with even edges, resembling a puncture with a nail. The Chupacabra can not be stopped by either a one and a half meter fence, or iron cage doors, or formidable domestic dogs. The latter, sensing danger, stop barking and huddle in a corner, and sometimes they themselves become victims of a predator.
Japanese experts are said to have examined a chupacabra hair accidentally found at a crime scene. They concluded that the bloodthirsty killer does not belong to any known animal species. There is still no consensus on the origin, biological characteristics and habitat of this mysterious creature. Environmentalists suggest that the Chupacabra mutated due to environmental pollution.
Ufologists associate the animal with anomalous zones, over which eyewitnesses have repeatedly observed the flight of unidentified objects. Conspiracy theorists believe that this creature was artificially created as a result of secret genetic developments at military bases. The priests carefully hint at the close connection of the beast with the nature of the infernal world.
Cryptozoologists are sure that chupacabras have been living on Earth for millions of years and in recent decades, for unknown reasons, the population of creatures began to grow rapidly. And official biology boils down to the fact that this is "an ordinary animal with unusual genetic abnormalities." But how did it happen that the mutant does not exist in a single copy, because the attacks of the chupacabra have been registered almost all over the world? And, most alarmingly, they are happening more and more often. Any of us can be a potential victim.
Various aspects of the problem remain unexplored. The reasons are not only in the elusiveness of the Chupacabra and the speed of its reactions - the lion's share of the information is often disinformation. Whoever was credited with the role of night killer - wolves, rabid foxes, feral dogs suffering from extreme exhaustion, small animals such as marten and even an unknown hybrid of "saber-toothed" kangaroo.
The latest version appeared because the chupacabra leaves behind traces only from its hind legs - which means that it moves by jumping. But none of these assumptions are correct. Wolves, killing, torment and scatter carcasses; dogs do not know how to suck blood, and they run on all fours; and the marten cannot unclench the iron bars, bend the mesh or remove the heavy crowbar that supports the barn door - moreover, it cannot drink so much blood for its stomach.
In addition, the listed animals do not smell of sulfur (this strong smell is noted by people who survived the attack of the Chupacabra). Local residents, whose household has suffered from the raids of the monster, fearfully say that this is an extremely quick-witted creature: the intelligence of the beast is similar to that of humans.

Scientist and writer Eduard Sergeevich Agon considers the Chupacabra not a mystical creature, but a completely real product of the evolution of insects, whose civilization is several hundred million years old and still develops in deep underground isolates, constantly mutating under conditions of increased radiation and temperature.
According to the researcher, the Chupacabra is an unusual insect. Unlike their small distant relatives living on the earth's surface, adults of this species grow up to 2.5–3 meters in height. Why did it happen? The fact is that once upon a time, in the Devonian period, the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere was much higher and reached 35%, which made the existence of very large biological forms possible.
Meter-long insects were common at the time. Then, when the oxygen content dropped to the current level, almost all life on Earth decreased in size. The insects suffered the same fate. But not all.
About 100 million years ago, huge ancient cockroaches gave rise to termites and praying mantises. However, one of the branches of the oldest social insects (with incomplete transformation) retained the features of both. They were able to adapt to the changed conditions without reducing their size. Everything happened due to the peculiarities of their physiology: a closed system of hemolymph circulation, the presence of hemocyanin, a specific oxygen carrier, as well as significant rearrangements at the level of cellular respiration. This species lived in deep underground cavities, crawling to the surface to hunt.
The Chupacabra are the lowest working caste of these insects. She collects blood like bees nectar - in order to carry it into food for insects, which occupy a higher position in the hierarchy. (You can read about this and many other things in the books "General Discourses on the Uniqueness of Earthly Creatures" and "Strange Discovery" ("Anatomy and Physiology of Aliens").)
For many years, the scientist has been searching and processing documentary information about the chupacabra, as well as testimonies of people who saw the monster with their own eyes. As a result of painstaking work, relying on various sources and his own conclusions, the researcher drew a generalized portrait of this creature:
It really looks like a locust or kangaroo. Chupacabra moves on its hind legs, making high jumps. These limbs begin in the “waist” area, are spread apart “with the knees back” and leave a bifurcated horseshoe or hoof-shaped track in the form of a 15–20 cm long pincer.
The hands of the “hands” are also like claws with hard black claws, between which there are pulvillae - soft pads that serve to keep the insect on a smooth or inclined surface. Chupacabra eyes are without pupils; greenish in a calm state, in a moment of danger, they glow red, orange or green. In places, her body seems to be covered with wool.
Of course, this is not the same wool as in mammals, but tough sensitive hairs that help the insect to navigate (these can be seen in the bumblebee: with their help the insect reacts to mechanical and chemical stimuli - for example, it feels the electric field in flowers). The front part of the body is a chitinous cover (it looks like a carapace, like a cancer).
And in conclusion, I want to appeal to the readers: are there any people among you who have seen the Chupacabra and can confirm or deny the portrait presented in this article? Then write your comments or, if you want more privacy, send emails (the address can be found in the "Contacts" section) - they will be forwarded to the researcher personally. Many thanks to those who respond: your testimony is very important.
