What is the difference between monsters and animals? We can say that animals are real, and monsters are fictional and live only in our imaginations.
But if you stumble into the jungle, say, a tiger, look into his intelligent eyes and see a ruthless killing machine there, nothing in the world will convince you that the monsters are not real.
Many centuries ago, when the world was unknown, even travelers, that is, people who saw everything with their own eyes, wrote about the terrible monsters they saw in the ocean depths. Now, looking back at their records, we can easily laugh and say that most of these people met ordinary large squids, various types of whales and sharks.
That is, the difference between monsters and animals is really only that monsters are animals that we have not yet identified. However, this conclusion does not help in any way to solve the riddle of where this or that strange animal came from, why it acts one way or another, and how to catch it.
150 (!) sheep killed by someone were found at once.
At the same time, the local residents were lost and could not understand what kind of animal was attacking their cattle. But the locals are well aware of the surrounding predators and their tactics of obtaining food.
Despite the fact that it was officially said that the sheep were torn to pieces by wolves, rumors about the Chupacabra spread among the villagers. It's just that not a single wolf attacks a sheep just in order to gnaw the liver out of it and not touch anything else.
At the same time, rumors circulated in Odisha that mysterious animals or beasts were attacking people, but there was no confirmation of this.

And in the fall of 2018, the strange predator seems to have returned and this time made a visit to the neighboring state of Maharashtra. And this time it is already officially reported about the attack on people. In total, 12 people have suffered so far, none of them was killed or even seriously injured, but people are very scared.
According to The Times of India, an unidentified beast attacked the inhabitants of the village of Dapodi in the Pune region. Someone assures that it is a leopard, others say that it is a tiger or even a hyena. However, the tactics of attacks by leopards and hyenas are not similar to what happened in Dapodi, and if there was a tiger there, people would not have escaped with mostly light scratches.
In addition, none of the 12 victims could clearly describe the appearance of the beast that attacked him.
The only footprint of the mysterious predator from Dapodi.
To begin with, let's clarify that all the victims, except one, were not residents of the village, but were hired workers working in the sugarcane fields. Also, all 12 people were injured in one single night (!). Because of the warm weather, they spent the night in the open air right in the fields.
All the attacks occurred while people were sleeping and each victim was awakened by the fact that something inflicted strong scratching blows on his face and body.
Thus, 35-year-old Kailash Pavar received deep scratches on his head and 65 stitches were imposed on him.
Ankush Kharat, a local forester, says he surveyed the attack area and found a single paw print of an unknown animal on a damp brick. After that, a trap cage was set up there, but no one got there yet.

Khazare also says that there are great doubts that it could be a leopard.
Now all local residents are advised not to spend the night outside their homes and keep lighted torches nearby while moving.
