This
item paints the best picture yet of this creature that is busily
haunting our nightmares. By and large, everything clearly conforms
to the gargoyle.
- We do know that this creature has been on Earth for centuries
- It is capable of wide distribution although it likely migrates at its convenience from rookeries in the tropics.
- It uses a lot of energy to fly and feeds on blood and now liquefied flesh and if in a rush can eat soft organ meat.
- It has been seen cooperating with other members of its genus.
- Three toes suggest a number of natural lineages including all we think we know. This is a supremely adapted creature that ranges the Earth and is smart enough to generally avoid us. It also quite nicely explains cattle mutilation.
What
becomes extremely clear is that I have no need to call on the UFO
alien hypothesis and excellent observers have properly characterized
this creature to our satisfaction.
This
is an excellent and unexpected conclusion to a singular line of
investigation. There are other nocturnal flyers out there, but this
one is extraordinary and will deserve detailed study. It will be
difficult to track and kill or capture, although as farmers get wise,
we will eventually get lucky and down one.
CONGO’S
CHUPACABRA
ALEX
MISTRETTA
One
aspect of the Chupacabra that has always
intrigued me is the reported spine like appendage on it’s back.
It has been described as fleshy spikes that have the ability to rise
up and change color when the animal is agitated.
[
I have conjectured that these are the wings folded up against its
back. The color change conforms to the expectation of skin
structures as observed in some other creatures – arclein ]
Recently
an old story reemerged on the Internet about an unusual incident
involving the United State military in the African Congo. I
myself first heard about it about ten years ago as I was researching
modern bipedal Hominids in central Africa; but this being an
unverifiable story, I filed it away in the back of mind in case I
would one day have a chance to revisit it.
Philippe
Coudray, a French cryptozoologist and author; first told the story
and it as it concerns a group of American Navy Seals in the late
1990’s or early 2000’s.
The
supposed “ deep throat” (X-Files reference here) in this
story is one of the Seals who wishes to remain anonymous. He
claims that his unit came upon, quite by accident; a group of animals
they initially thought were normal chimps. They
counted thirteen animals that were in the process of killing another
unidentified animal, presumably for food.
The “chimps” were close to five
feet in height and grey.
What caught
the unit’s attention were the spikes that ran down the length of
the spine; similar to a porcupine, is how he described it. He
also added that the spikes stood up at times when the “chimps”
became excited.
They filmed the entire episode. The film according to the Seal is
three minutes long and classified.
[
so we have chimp like hominids with actual spikes running the length
of the spine. I know of no other proper comparable and we risk
suggesting anything now. I am particularly impressed that this is a
pack animal like few others on Earth - arclein ]
THE
CHUPACABRA AND Puerto Rico
The
modern Chupacabra era began in the early 1990′s on the island of
Puerto Rico, when numerous animals, mostly goats at first, were found
mutilated and exsanguinated. Then, reports started coming in
about
a strange animal and strange tracks at the sites of the killings.
Panic and speculation evolved, and the inevitable link to the UFO
phenomenon began.
But,
this is not a quixotic relationship; Puerto Rico has one of the
highest concentrations of UFO sightings in the world. UFOs have
routinely been seen at the location of Chupacabra sightings, or at
the site of animal mutilations reportedly engineered by the
Chupacabra. A similar phenomenon occurs in the United States
during cattle mutilations, where UFOs have been seen on site before
or after a mutilation event. Furthermore, some basic
morphological similarities do exist between descriptions of the
Chupacabra and the creatures reported in Varginha, Brazil in 1996.
The UFO link is inescapable.
As
the 1990′s
came to an end, the Chupacabra extended its territory outside of
Puerto Rico. Sighting occurred in the United States, in Central and
South America, and even in Russia.
This fact brings up a peculiar point. Whatever this specie
turns out to be, it has no
clear set geographical boundaries, which is somewhat unusual if we
were dealing with a regular member of the animal kingdom.
To further compound the mystery and reinforce the UFO link,
Chupacabras as described by witnesses cannot be placed within a
zoological taxonomy that we are aware off; either from a current
specie or one known from the fossil record.
We
do have is a fairly detailed description of the Chupacabra. The
creature is between three
to five feet in height, has big black and reddish eyes. The top
of the head is round; the mouth has fang-like definition, and an
appendage (tongue?) that can project.
The creature is also equipped
with spinal fins and wings,
even though the latter aren’t always reported. Footprints
show three
toes with three long claws.
It is apparently covered
with short hair that has
been reported as anything from brown, gray, orange, yellow and blue.
The majority of eyewitnesses usually describe the beast as either ape
like or dog like.
[
this is clearly a gargoyle with spinal spikes that never made it into
sculpture for obvious reasons. - arclein]
Back
on Puerto Rico, over a
thousand dead animals,
including sheep, dogs, turkeys, rabbits, chickens, cattle, cats,
horses and of course goats have been attributed to the Chupacabra.
Unfortunately, it got to a point where every animal death was rumored
to be Chupacabra related; but in the deep end of paranoia, rumors and
exaggerations, the pattern for a Chupacabra kill emerged.
Mutilated
animals with
puncture holes are typically found on the animal’s neck and
abdomen. The deceased
often exsanguinated, drained of blood.
Some animals have been further mutilated where internal
organs have been ripped out.
Rabbits especially seem to bring out the worse in the Chupacabra, as
it will go through the trouble of absolutely destroying the cages
holding the rabbits in order to mutilate Thumper. However,
rabbit cages aren’t the only structures destroyed by the
Chupacabra. It has been known to tear through barbed wire and
iron gates to get to its intended prey. The strength
of the creature is quite remarkable.
[
obviously since it can also fly and that requires powerful chest
muscles – arclein ]
In
the beginning, only animals were victimized, but eventually people
were attacked as well and the creature was being seen more frequently
around human habitations.
In
a small village in Mexico, a woman claimed that a Chupacabra clawed
her, and a man from another village said that he also was attacked.
He displayed two punctured marks on his right arm. But, before
you think that the Chupacabra just doesn’t like Mexicans, a Puerto
Rican man in December of 1995 claimed that he was attacked from
behind and showed cuts on his abdomen. He described the
creature as gorilla like. These incidents, if accurately
reported, are fairly uncommon, and for the most part the creature
doesn’t seem to have it in for man. Instances like these are
very rare and no one has been seriously hurt, as far as I’m aware.
SPLICING?
The
Chupacabra is an amalgam of traits, seemingly belonging to several
different species; the wings, the ape like or dog life face, the
ability to change colors, among others. Analyses of several
Chupacabra
victims indicate that the internal organs in many cases were
liquefied.
We know that Chupacabra victims have been found with one or two
puncture wounds, usually around the neck area. This leads to
the possibility that the Chupacabra injects the victim with some kind
of liquefying agent. That would suggest that they then ingest
the liquefied insides for nourishment.
Spiders
feed this way as they inject digestive enzymes through their fangs in
order to feed on the liquefied remains. This is not to suggest
that Chupacabras have any relationship to spiders, but to point out
that this is possible in the animal kingdom. Carnivorous plants
also utilize external digestive enzyme to break down their captures
prey. Most animals, including humans use digestive enzymes
internally.
As
far as Chupacabras are concerned, this ability could be of prime
importance in identifying these creatures. If we could get a
sample of the liquefied remains of a Chupacabra attack, it could be
analyzed and compared to known digestive enzymes; giving us a clue as
to the zoological nature of the beast. If these creatures turn
out to be genetic experimentation and more specifically hybrids; in
theory then, digestive enzymes from any species on the planet, and
perhaps off it, could have been introduced. This includes plant
digestive enzymes.
So,
we know the Chupacabra doesn’t like goats and rabbits. In
addition it isn’t particularly fond of teddy bears either. In a
rather idiotic episode, a less than brilliant Chupacabra in Caguas
city, Puerto Rico tore the window of a bedroom open and savagely
attacked a teddy bear. Episodes like the later have prompted
the police in both Puerto Rico and Mexico to take action.
In
fact, in December of 1995, a police officer in Puerto Rico managed to
shoot at one of the creatures. He failed in killing it, but
blood samples were obtained. The blood was analyzed first by a
veterinarian and then by a laboratory in the United States. The
veterinarian’s report stated that the blood contains high levels of
protein and acids, with traces of chlorophyll. The laboratory
analysis revealed that the blood was similar to human type A but not
compatible with human blood or any other animal.
We do have to allow the possibility of contamination for the sample,
but nonetheless brings up some intriguing speculation in the world of
hybridization.
