A Texas family killed a chupacabra. A family from Texas said that they destroyed a chupacabra on a plot near their house. According to representatives of the Ort family, they killed the mysterious animal a few days ago, on Sunday, February 23.

According to 79-year-old Doug Orth, the chupacabra was spotted when it made a loud sound. His grandson, armed, ran out of the house and shot at the creature from a distance of several hundred meters. Ort noted that the chupacabra was attracted to the house by dog food. It is not specified where the dog belonging to the family was at the time of the appearance of the animal.

Commenting on the situation, biologist Josh Turner said that most likely the Orts shot not a mystical creature, but an ordinary mammal, for example, a coyote suffering from scabies. The specialist stressed that if someone shot or otherwise killed such an animal, it is necessary to wear gloves before moving the corpse. As Turner noted, otherwise the disease can be transmitted to your pet.

The Chupacabra, or goat vampire, is an animal whose existence is not recognized by science. However, many believe that this creature, covered with rare brown fur, hunts livestock (his chupacabra allegedly sucks blood). Sick foxes, dogs, coyotes, raccoons and other animals are sometimes mistaken for chupacabra.

Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

Baldness

Often, because of the nature of the species, age or various diseases, the animals are deprived of wool.

The most common skin disease that leads to this effect is considered to be the Itch mite. From coyotes, for example, the response to the disease can be so strong , what causes hair loss, narrowing of the blood vessels, adding to the overall fatigue exhaustion. Therefore, affected animals often attack livestock because it usually is easy prey.
