Chupacabra- an animal creature that has recently declared itself. According to numerous stories of people who have lost because of her attacks of livestock and birds, outwardly this creature looks like a huge dog, others claim that it resembles a kangaroo. Scientists agreed that the surrounding world has not yet been sufficiently studied, and that the chupacabra may be the result of some natural mutation or an unsuccessful scientific experiment. Obviously, chupacabra is a sign of natural or climatic changes. This creature attacks mainly at night (mainly on medium cattle - sheep, goats), but there have been cases of attacks on bulls, it sucks blood from victims. There have been cases of chupacabra attacks on people. In scientific organizations in several countries, continuous research is being carried out on the basis of the traces obtained, which are supposedly left by this creature.

The first information about the thunderstorm of farmers appeared after local farmers in Puerto Rico found several killed goats, which were completely sucked out of their blood. When a local clairvoyant was shown the skeleton of an unknown monster found by local residents, she, without hesitation, said that "the remains belong to an animal from another dimension, it is not from the world around us." Environmentalists have suggested that the Chupacabra is a kind of mutant, a victim of change and pollution. Researchers of anomalous phenomena did not find any secrets in the find, they made a guess that this is an alien from other worlds. They immediately "tied" the chupacabra to an anomalous zone, which is somewhere nearby, where eyewitnesses have repeatedly noticed the appearance of unidentified flying objects. could either fight off, and as a result was lost by aliens, or deliberately left by them, but with the arrival of winter, the creature could not stand the cold. This explanation borders on fantasy, but at least a little reassuring. It turned out that the Chupacabra was “delivered” in a single copy. It turned out to be a big mistake.

Some time later, a new wave of Chupacabra attacks on livestock swept the world. In animals, a small round hole in the neck area with perfectly smooth and round edges, reminiscent of a nail puncture, was found on the body. Most likely, the monster sucked blood through these punctures. At the scene of the incidents, no traces of a struggle, not a drop of blood were found, only half-dead and frightened animals, which in the end had to be slaughtered or they died themselves. Sometimes animals are found without separate organs - brains, eyes, paws or tails. A terrible case was recorded when a chupacabra killed a large herd of cattle in the amount of 70 heads. The world around us is full of mysteries, and the origin of this mysterious creature is still a mystery. Many speculate that the creature escaped from a classified US military base, where genetic experiments on animals are being conducted. Others believe that the appearance of the Chupacabra is directly related to the fact that it flew with them, since UFOs were often seen when observing the Chupacabra.

Chupacabra Attack Cases

The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the appearance of a mysterious and merciless creature called the Chupacabra. After some time, the appearance of the monster began to be celebrated on the territory of Russia and Ukraine. Official data confirm that the monster made the first attack on animals in Russia in 2005. Scientists were able to find out that an animal killer never stays in one place for a long time, it can appear in different regions in a short time. Two owners, living in the small farm of Saperka, lost all their turkeys at night. The owners found the bodies of the unfortunate animals in the morning, the birds were terribly bled. But according to the bird owners, they did not hear anything suspicious at night, interviewed neighbors said that even the local dogs did not bark. Many cattle owners note that mainly old and sick animals that cannot defend themselves are attacked by chupacabras. And in the village of Gavrilovka, a mutant “encroached on” a flock of sheep, sucking the blood out of them in the same way.

Numerous statements to the bodies of the owners of the slaughtered cattle agree on one thing - the creature differs from ordinary animals in its cunning and ingenuity. For example, one of the owners said that at night he tightly locked the door to the barn with an iron crowbar, but the quirky creature silently removed the heavy crowbar and bit four sheep. After such an incident, the villagers were seized by a real panic. If a creature can so easily break into a barn, maybe it will enter the house too? In the evenings in the villages they began to be seriously afraid to go out into the courtyard, and even more so, to walk along the street. However, some brave men go out at night with weapons on duty, hoping to still catch the elusive cattle killer. And no one knows exactly where the Chupacabra will appear next. This means that in any village you can expect the appearance of an elusive monster, eager to kill livestock and drink their blood. But another thing is scary - what if the Chupacabra is not alone?

The bloody attacks continue

Chupacabra continues to make bloody forays. This time, the residents of the Khmelnytsky region were “lucky” to face this ruthless vampire. One of the villages in the region turned a black day - in just a day, the creature killed several cows, two horses and several local mongrels. But this did not seem enough - two young women were attacked. In the evening of another day, the monster attacked the girl at the bus stop. A neighbor of this girl heard loud screams and jumped out to help with a stick. The neighbor beat the beast with all her strength, but it was useless, he did not pay any attention to the stick, continuing to bite the girl. A local hunter, who lives near the stop, ran out to the shouts with a gun. Seven times he shot at an unknown monster before he fell behind the girl. The beast effortlessly jumped into the bushes and disappeared. The victim is still in the hospital, the animal inflicted multiple wounds on her arms and legs, and injured her head.

Another case took place in the Vinnitsa region. An unknown creature managed to get into the cage, where it killed the rabbits that were there. The elusive creature managed to tear off the board along with the nails from the cage, destroying innocent animals. According to the owner of the rabbits, she found deep wounds on their necks, probably sucked out all the blood from them. The hostess has no doubt that a chupacabra has climbed into the cage. Veterinary officials are ironic about this: since the reports of a bloodthirsty monster began to appear, the veterinary department has not recorded such creatures. Over the past year, the press has repeatedly described the attacks of an unusual animal on pets, but for some reason the owners practically did not turn to veterinarians. Experts do not really believe in the existence of an unusual creature, they believe that a rabid fox or a dog has most likely been here. Sick animals are capable of a lot, experts have already confirmed this more than once. But no one dares to say where the unprecedented beast came from practically within the city limits.

The next attack occurred in the Kolomensky district. In just one night on a farm near Moscow, an unknown monster killed half of the herd - the horned animals had severely damaged legs and drunk blood. Some of the animals were still alive. The surviving sheep, who were dying in terrible agony, were found in the morning by the general director of this farm. Entering the sheepfold, he saw a terrible picture - most of the livestock showed no signs of life, all animals had their legs brutally twisted. According to the general director, there was no blood in the bodies of the victims, they seemed to be dried out. Hunting experts, police and veterinarians immediately arrived on call. As suggested by law enforcement officers, the killing of animals is the work of human hands. But here's a riddle - no extraneous traces were found on the farm. Only in one place on earth were several claw marks of an unknown alien found. The Kolomna district police have opened a criminal case on the mass murder of sheep on a farm, an investigation is underway. The opinions of experts agree on one thing: a very bloodthirsty creature with sharp fangs makes attacks on animals. In all cases, the victims' tendons were torn, arteries were punctured, their necks were bitten, and blood was drunk.

A high-profile case took place in the Sumy region, where he attacked a teenager. According to the tenth grader, at about eleven o'clock in the evening, he returned home from a date. Passing under the bridge, he smelled a strong smell of sulfur, after which something hit him hard on the arm. "I felt a blow and fell, a flashlight flew out of my hands, some creature either bent over or stood on its hind legs like a kangaroo and hissed like a snake," said the injured young man. In those terrible minutes, a car was passing by, so the guy assumed that the headlights frightened the beast. The tenth grader added that "It began to run away into the bushes, it was very tall, taller than me and jumped on its hind legs." Doctors prescribed a course of vaccinations for the guy and take pills - in case an unusual animal was infected with rabies. Doctors stated that neither dogs nor foxes have such claws, traces of which remained on the victim's hand. After studying this case, the researchers concluded that mutation of any animal is unlikely here. But there is an assumption that the creature was created artificially. For a long time, there was a version among experts that the dimensions of the killer vampire are relatively small - no more than 70 cm. "In this case, we are dealing with a two-meter creature, and this may already indicate a mutation of this individual," said one of the experts.

In their habits and resourcefulness, the Chupacabra can be compared to bears. It is the bears that biologists consider the most quick-witted and cruel among animals. Bears are easy to train, but at the same time they are more dangerous than a crocodile or a lion. He is characterized by outbursts of causeless rage, in which case he is able to pounce even on a familiar person and cripple him. It is almost impossible to predict an explosion of rage in this animal, since its craniofacial muscles are not developed. Before attacking a victim, the bear does not express any intentions. It is also impossible to tell what mood it is in by the appearance of the beast. In the Amur region on a summer day, a bear brutally lifted a man. The deceased, most likely, went into the forest for a fern. One of the Amur residents, who was not far from the scene, heard inhuman screams and immediately called the police. The arrived operatives together with the hunters faced a terrible sight - the man's scalp was ripped off, the severed leg was lying nearby, body parts were eaten away. It turned out that this predator has long become famous in these parts of attacks on people. Hunters have been searching for a man-eating bear for a long time, this is far from the first case of an attack. Searches have not yet yielded results; after the attack, the aggressive animal disappears into the forest without a trace. The Amur residents also remember the case of the invasion of animals in the region. Then the bears regularly came to the cemetery, where they unearthed burials and devoured the bodies. Several cannibals were subsequently shot.

Most likely, these are not her last forays, sooner or later the Chupacabra will show itself again, since she is an animal and needs to be fed. Let's hope that sooner or later the Chupacabra will be able to capture more accurately and in better quality and we will all see who this mysterious and elusive creature called the Chupacabra is. Wait for new news.

Chupacabra research

Studies of the chupacabra phenomenon boil down to the fact that it is a genetic mutant, bred by US military scientists at one of the secret bases. There are rumors that there are top-secret pictures of the Chupacabra. In 1947, in Roswell, it was in the area of ​​these military bases that a crashed UFO was investigated. The information was strictly classified, but the appearance of the Chupacabra is associated with the UFO crash. It is unknown if the Chupacabra was released by the US military to test potentially biological weapons, or if it escaped during transportation. There was even a special document about a biological mutant, but the Pentagon is silent on this matter. Therefore, you should not rely on the speedy declassification of the most important documents. About the origin of this unusual mystery, there are many supernatural versions of the genesis of the mutant (UFO, mutation, otherworldly worlds, werewolf). But of these, the most plausible seems to be the version of scientists - biologists who consider the Chupacabra as "an ordinary animal with unusual genetic abnormalities." The population of this creature is extremely small, it is possible that there is only one such vampire in nature. Despite this, the bloodthirsty monster has almost no immediate enemies (perhaps, except for humans). This biological monster is very difficult to catch, almost impossible, which indirectly confirms the existence of high intelligence, cunning and a desire to remain unknown in the creature. In addition, paleontologists agree with their colleagues, noting that the remains of a fossilized saber-toothed kangaroo they found in Queensland are very similar to a chupacabra, only of a much larger size. Unlike the offspring, the ancient animal did not have a peaceful disposition. Scientists consider both the saber-toothed kangaroo and the modern descendant to be the ideal creature for killing.

Animal predator instincts

For a long time, it was believed that predatory animals become cannibals due to illness, old age or injuries, because of which they can no longer hunt animals. The International Fund for the Conservation of Wild Animals conducted research that showed that wild predators (lions, for example) attack people not at all because of hunger. This wild beast is driven by thirst. If a predatory beast gets drunk on brackish water, then chemical processes begin to occur in its body. A person is attractive to an animal because its soft tissues have a corrective effect on the animal's body, which helps to stop thirst. In India, since the 80s, large reservoirs with drinking water have been installed in the forests, in places where there are frequent attacks of predatory animals on people. By nature, man himself puts himself in danger, primarily this concerns hunters for wild animals. Predatory animals are dangerous already because they regard a person as a potential enemy. One of the residents of the city turned to the sanitary and epidemiological station of Makeyevka in the Donetsk region. A weasel attacked him, inflicting multiple bite wounds on the hands and elbows. A wild beast wandered into the courtyard of a private village house, where it attacked the owner. In the admission department of the hospital, doctors qualified the bites of a predator as severe injuries. Practice shows that wild animals are often carriers of rabies. Once on the territory of a person, an animal infected with rabies is able to attack any creature that comes across - a cat, a dog, etc. Chupacabra in this sense is a vivid example of rabies, although there is no reliable data on the bloodsucker. The weasel case may not be an exception. Now this animal has been sent to the laboratory of the veterinary service for examination. The injured man will undergo long-term preventive treatment with immunoglobulin and rabies vaccine. Yet it sometimes happens that a person encounters predatory animals. How should one behave in order not to cause aggression in the beast? When meeting a predator, the emotional state of a person is extremely tense, and most often a person runs away, screams, or, which is most dangerous, shoots at him. It is very important here to try not to lose self-control, not to make sudden movements and in no case run away from him. It should be remembered that in most cases predators are inherently afraid of humans. In addition, the sight of a man running can arouse the pursuit reflex in the animal, and it is more likely that it will rush after and attack. It is well known that in animals, the pursuit reflex can be much stronger than fear of humans. It is unacceptable to flee from the beast for another important reason: a person can, without knowing it, rush towards a predator cub. In this case, females or males are especially dangerous, since the animals instinctively perceive this as an attack on the cub.

Rats are rodents that adapt very well to live near human dwellings and outbuildings. In this regard, they often come into contact with domestic and farm animals. Do they pose any danger to the latter? In fact, rats can cause significant harm to both individual pets and the entire household.

The main danger is that in some situations, rats can be quite aggressive. Having proliferated too much, they can feel their collective power and begin to defend their own territory. In such cases, they are dangerous even for cats and large dogs. Moreover, feeling a lack of food for the further growth of their population, they can become unnecessarily aggressive towards other animals and even people.

In addition, even single and few individuals can cause significant harm, exterminating the livestock of chickens, goslings, turkey poults. This attack is especially known in poultry farms. Cattle can be harmed because rats like to chew on hard and resilient objects. They often gnaw the hooves of horses, cows, and sometimes they even gnaw veins and gnaw whole pieces of meat. Often, these pests cause a really big damage to farms, attacking livestock and poultry.

How to protect domestic animals from aggressive pests?

Rats can indeed cause significant damage to the household. In addition, they are carriers of a huge number of diseases, many of which are dangerous for domestic animals. How can you protect your farm from these pests?

Today, you can find many remedies that are offered as a panacea against harmful rodents. But it should be understood that rats are very intelligent and have incredible adaptability to various poisons. This helps them avoid many of the clever traps, scarers and get used to toxic substances.

These rodents become the most aggressive and dangerous for domestic animals after their population in a certain area greatly increases. This can only be prevented by timely contacting the Moscow professional deratization service. Knowing the habits, reproduction and nutrition of rodents, a professional exterminator can quickly clear them of the territory of the farm for a long time.

After the release of a series of reports about a monster in the Lviv region that kills pets and sucks blood out of them, worried residents of the village of Bolshaya Aleksandrovka (Boryspil district, Kiev region) called the editorial office of the newspaper that monitors the situation.


“It's the same with us! Some animal kills rabbits, chickens and even pigs. Come sooner! " - asked Ivan Andreevich. Our correspondent went to the scene and made sure that the animals are really being attacked by something terrible.
Zinaida Ivanets shows the traces left by the beast on the cages in which the rabbits were kept
As mentioned earlier, the attacks of a mysterious monster on the villages of the Lviv region began at the end of April. The beast made its way to the courtyards, broke into cages and killed rabbits. At the same time, the monster did not vomit or eat animals, but only drank their blood. Hunters were on duty at night to catch the beast. But he never got caught. Several people saw the monster: about 1.5 meters high, it moves like a kangaroo, but with huge claws and an evil grin!

In Bolshaya Aleksandrovka, one of the first to suffer was Zinaida Ivanets' farm:
- At about 3 am, something incomprehensible was happening in the yard: an eerie squeak, a scream, a commotion. And in the morning I look - all the rabbits are lying near the cages - not a drop of blood, but dead, - says Zinaida.

A mysterious creature that encroached on her household easily broke new wooden cages and "figured out" how to open the locks.

- And so it happened! The next night, around midnight, the dog began to bark. I went to look. I go to the sheds, and then the creature will jump over the fence! I have not yet come to my senses, as the second one jumps out from under my feet! Such a shock! I was shaking all over.
Zinaida admits that she did not have time to see what exactly she faced. However, he still gives some details: the animals were dark, about half a meter high, and in the jump they stretched out for all one and a half meters!
“But they were neither martens nor a dog. Firstly, they are not alike, and secondly, they would have tore up and eat rabbits, and not drink their blood. Who knows what kind of monsters they are, the woman wonders.
In confusion and veteran Sergei Arkhipovich Volokhonsky, whose beast recently killed almost all the chickens:
- I have lived for many years, but such a case is the first time, - says the veteran. - And there are no traces left!

The beast left unnoticed and from the courtyard of Lyudmila Kulak, to whom he inflicted the greatest harm in the village: he killed all the rabbits, chickens and even a pig!
- Here I had two pigs of 80 kilograms each, - shows Lyudmila an open-air corral, surrounded by a high fence. - In the morning I come to feed them - horror! One is lying, bleeding, the tail and everything around it is simply not there! Apparently, it grabbed and vomited! And there is no half-leg either! All bitten, pieces of skin hang all over the body. She died soon after. And the second pig was badly scratched - it can be seen that something was vomiting with its claws. Now she should farrow, but she has become so shy, she is even afraid of the wind!
The attack on the pigs was the last straw (before that the Fists had lost their rabbits and broiler chickens), and the head of the family, Nikolai, with his godfather decided to catch the beast.

- Kum is a hunter, we took guns and were on duty for two nights. But it never appeared - yes, there was no need to come, it killed everyone, ”Nikolai says in frustration.
Bolshaya Alexandrovka is full of rumors. Someone in the forest belt saw a strange creature, it also seemed to flicker in the light of someone's headlights at a railway crossing near the village. Many are skeptical about this - they say, someone's dog is to blame for everything, and fear has big eyes. However, those affected by the monster (s) take this much more seriously.
- He breaks cells, jumps so high, drinks blood - what kind of power is this !? - Zinaida Ivanets is perplexed.







Meanwhile, in the Lviv region

According to Volodymyr Vishko from the Podhaichyky village, which in June was at the epicenter of the attacks of the "Carpathian monster", the mysterious beast no longer bothers them. “Gone to the north! - Vladimir authoritatively declares. - The latest information about him just a few days ago came from Zhovkva (a village north of Lviv, 35 kilometers from the border with Poland. - Author's note). Nadezhda Rudaya, the chairman of the Zastavnensky village council, where the monster also raged, says the same: "It again confirms what we guessed: in the same place it almost never appears, but always goes on!"

Small predators are big fans of poultry, and often farmers are faced with sad incidents of raids on chicken coops. The ferret, getting into the barn at night, strangles and eats poultry, chickens, chickens and even geese. Weasels, martens and ermines also occasionally hunt them. They live mainly in marshlands, as well as in forests and fields. Small predators destroy rodents in the field, bringing great benefits to farmers. In turn, wolves and foxes feed on weasels and ferrets.

Ferrets are very dangerous to chickens

Ferret behavior

If a ferret or marten is noticed near the farm - expect trouble. During the hunt, small predators behave very carefully, so it is almost impossible to catch them by surprise. If on a winter morning the owner of the chicken coop discovers some kind of footprints in the courtyard, the so-called "two-points", then an uninvited guest hosted here the day before. Moving by jumping, these predators leave marks in the snow, by which you can easily determine which species of the animal has visited. In the weasel, the distance between the tracks is 20-30 cm, in the marten 30-40, and in the ferret about 50-60.

The polecat is the most harmful to poultry farms. He is distinguished by cruelty and bloodthirstiness. Having a relatively small size (30-45 cm), it is capable of tearing apart and destroying as many poultry as it can in one foray.

Coop after a visit by a predator

The ferret attacks and crushes its prey with its paws and then eats it. He prefers mainly small hens, but chickens make up most of the prey. A lot of birds remain untouched after it. A ferret can only eat one or two carcasses at a time. Catching its prey, the predator does not eat their head, it chews it off. The delicate tissues of the head quickly rot and spoil the whole bird's carcass.

Weasel and marten behavior

To get rid of weasel in a hen house, you need to know a few facts about this animal and understand the reason for its penetration to poultry.

Weasel, like a ferret, is a merciless and cunning animal that eats domestic animals. You need to have a lot of dexterity to catch a weasel. This is practically impossible for a human being. Despite her cute appearance, she ferociously strangles and tears her prey to shreds. After she is full, up to several dozen decapitated hens or chickens remain in the barn.

Weasels rarely raid the chicken coop. She mainly eats rats and mice. Only in the absence of this food does she start hunting for domestic birds. In villages, there are times when she sneaks into people's houses and attacks cats and dogs. The weasel has very sharp teeth, like needles, so it can easily kill a small goose or chicken.

Weasel is difficult to see and catch. With the help of traps, this mission can be completed quite effectively.

Marten is the enemy of chickens

The marten is a beautiful nocturnal predator, possessing natural grace and well-developed agility. This animal has long been credited with mystical and supernatural properties, thanks to the ability to make lightning attacks on its victim, and then quickly run away. The habitat is deciduous and coniferous forests, where the marten eats small birds, squirrels and rats. Leads predominantly a nomadic lifestyle. During the period of birth and feeding of her young, she settles in the hollows of trees or among the roots of old trees.

Usually the marten eats rodents and small birds, in rare cases it can catch a hare or black grouse. If there are villages with chicken coops near the forest, the animal may well become an uninvited guest there and feast on poultry. Making her way into sheds or human dwellings, she first crushes and gnaws the throat of her victim, and then eats it. It is quite difficult to independently catch a marten in a hen house due to its speed of movement and dexterity. You will need specially equipped traps and traps.

Ways to enter the chicken coop

How these petty robbers end up in sheds and chicken coops: it's all about the cracks and crevices that have formed in the foundations and walls of the premises.

The chicken house must be strengthened so that enemies cannot climb

Anatomy allows these animals to squeeze even into very small holes. In the old, rotten walls of the sheds, it will not be difficult for a ferret to gnaw through rotten boards and get inside. They also use existing mouse holes. If there is not a single gap and there is no way to create a tunnel, the animal sneaks in through the ventilation hole or independently digs a path under the chicken coop with claws and sharp fangs.

To prevent forest animals from getting into the room, all cracks and holes in the walls need to be repaired, and a mesh should be installed in the ventilation system. When building a new house for chickens, geese and ducks, strong walls without cracks are very important, and the foundation must be made somewhat thicker than usual so that the animal does not make its way from the floor.

Protection methods

Getting rid of weasels and other pests is not so difficult. You just need to know the principle of action of traps and make traps that will allow you to avoid the death of poultry in time. In order not to go broke after the raids of treacherous ferrets and martens, people have come up with a lot of ways to catch them since ancient times.

To catch them yourself, you only need a few simple items:

  • large bucket;
  • ferret bait;
  • two liter bottle. Then a trap is made, for the manufacture of which you will need:
  • the upper and lower parts of the plastic bottle are cut off;
  • at one end, a bait is installed from those products that the predator eats.

Traps and traps can be used to combat predators

  • a piece of pork or lamb is perfect for this, since fresh meat gives off a characteristic smell and is an affordable prey;
  • in the place where the animal was often seen, a chair is placed, on which the bottle is placed in such a way that the bait is on the edge of the chair;
  • then a bucket is placed under the chair, with the expectation of catching the ferret when it falls off the chair;
  • on the bucket, you need to fix the lid so that at the slightest vibration of the bucket, it falls from above and closes the opening of the bucket.

After the trap is set, all that remains is to wait for another visit from the intruder and hope that the trick will work. When the ferret picks up a piece of meat, the weight of its body will outweigh the bottle, and it will fall into the trap. It is important to hear the noise in time and have time to firmly fasten the lid. After this, the caught pest is taken away from the home and released into the wild.

Large mousetraps, which are usually used to catch rats, will help to drive the ferret away from the chicken coop. Having previously placed the meat there, the mousetrap is placed in the most visible place. Weasel and ferret quickly fall into such a trap.

Types of traps

To get rid of small pests and successfully fight them, several types of traps were created, which are used to firmly hold the beast. They give a high guarantee and come in plate and frame. When the animal enters it, then with the help of springs and plates, the device tightly pinches the neck and paws, completely immobilizing it. There are times when the animal escapes with the trap. To prevent this from happening, it must be tightly attached.

For petting, frame devices are used, which are relatively smaller than plate devices intended for large predators. The cunning animal is able to gnaw through the canvas, which serves as the basis of the trap and escape.

In order for the ferret in the chicken coop to remain only a bad memory, when building a farm, it is important to adhere to all safety rules and build premises strong and without cracks.

In some Russian regions, they are trying to get on the trail of the beast, which, despite the fact that no one has seen it with their own eyes, instills genuine fear. In the Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions, an unknown predator, strong and cunning, began to attack the rural farmsteads, he hunts for domestic animals.

That morning, says Vladimir Chernov, he will never forget. The man went out to feed the animals and saw a terrible picture. 40 carcasses of rabbits, two dead pigs and 17 strangled chickens. Open cages, claw marks on the fence and some noise near the fence ...

Vladimir Chernov says that he saw strange creatures similar to huge dogs running out of his yard. And this sight surprised the man even more than the animals themselves. Allegedly, the largest animal first set its back with the smaller one, after which it got up on its hind legs and calmly jumped over the fence.

When Vladimir recovered a little from the shock, he had questions: why did not his dog bark, why did the mysterious predators not tore the rabbits and eat the chickens? And, in general, what kind of animals are they?

“I called the police, and the police said: it’s the Chupacabra who visited you. This is not the first time I went there. There, in a military town, 80 rabbits also finished,” says Vladimir Chernov, a resident of the village of Kopytova.

In Tyumen villages today they are ready to believe in the existence of the Chupacabra, a mythical beast that sucks blood from domestic animals (this legend was born in Puerto Rico more than half a century ago). The inhabitants simply cannot explain such raids otherwise. It turned out that uninvited guests over the past few months attacked animals in at least five more farmsteads of the nearest villages.

"I would not say that these are dogs and would not say that these are wolves! My wife and I went to the door, stood up, and they stood up and looked at us, what are we going to do. Very smart animals. I tell you straight, they they will even be smarter than a man, "says Aleksandr Petrov, a resident of the village of Kopytova.

In the village near Chelyabinsk there are also dozens of dead rabbits and also claw marks.

"To close the latch, you need to make an effort. To open it, exactly the same. Everything was open here. These are not yard dogs. If you look at the footprints, this is just some kind of fighter!" - says a resident of the village of Starokamyshinsk Elvira Sheremet.

At the scene, the owners of the rabbits found scraps of fur and tracks. After the examination, the zoologists and hunters had no doubts: a lynx looked into the yard.

Tyumen police officers do not believe in Chupacabra either. After inspecting the scene, a report was drawn up, where stray dogs were found guilty.

"Most likely, these are our abandoned dogs, who fought back, it is difficult for them to survive in the city, of course, and they all stray to the outskirts of the cities. The Criminal and Administrative Code does not provide anything for wild dogs," he said. Dmitry Gushchin, investigator of the police department No. 3 of the Russian MIA Administration for Tyumen.

As a result, the police sent several submissions to the district administration demanding to catch all the stray dogs in the district. But most villagers do not believe in the police version and collect evidence of their theories. Like a photo taken by a local sensation hunter. The track is similar to a dog's, but much larger and with a long heel, which is not the case with any dog. Now the inhabitants of Tyumen villages have lost sleep, pets are being driven under strong locks and bolts, and even high school students are seen off to school in the morning.
