Mysterious creature spotted in Arizona
Back in 90s, a rancher in Arizona claimed to have seen a strange creature he couldn't identify. He described it as being about the size of a small bear, with grayish fur and sharp spines running down its back. The creature also had red eyes and long fangs.
The rancher said he shot at the creature, but it ran off into the desert. He claimed to have found three dead sheep nearby that had been mutilated, with their throats slit and all the blood drained from their bodies.
This incident was just one of many supposed sightings of the chupacabra, a mythical creature that is said to drain the blood of livestock.
Description of the Chupacabra
The chupacabra is a mythological creature that is said to drain the blood of livestock. It is typically described as being about the size of a small bear, with grayish fur and sharp spines running down its back. The creature also has red eyes and long fangs.
Other Sightings of the Chupacabra around Arizona
In 2003 a woman from Tucson claimed to have seen the chupacabra near her home. She described it as a small, furry creature with red eyes.
A few years later, in 2006, another woman claimed to have seen the chupacabra in the town of Paulden. She said it was about the size of a dog and had gray fur.
Is the Chupacabra Real?
There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of the chupacabra. However, there have been several supposed sightings of the creature over the years. It is possible that these sightings are of real animals, such as coyotes or foxes, that have been misidentified. Or, they could be hoaxes. Whatever the case may be, the chupacabra remains a mystery.
What do experts think about the chupacabra sightings in Arizona and beyond?
Stanley Gehrt from Texas wildlife services says that the chupacabra is likely a raccoon with mange, which is a skin disease caused by parasitic mites. “These mites cause the hair to fall out and the skin to get thick and scaly,” Gehrt explains. “So, you can imagine if you saw one of these animals out in the wild, it would be pretty scary looking.”
