20. Guatemala
Our next stop finds us in Guatemala, another country in which impressive remains of Mayan cities can be found, but it isn’t old building we are here to look at but to have a look at reports of the Chupacabra.
In the mid 1990s the Chupacabra was well on its way to being the most famous cryptid in the world with stories of the mystery animal appearing steadily all over Latin America. The description of a mix of hairless dog, a rat and a kangaroo with a row of spines running along its back suggests that whatever the Chupacabra is its pig ugly.
The name Chupacabra is usually translated as the goat sucker but despite the name suggesting that it should just be goats that need to worry it is actually attacks on other animals that seem to make the headlines. In November 1995 in just two nights a mystery creature taken to be the Chupacabra killed some 150 chickens on the farm of Alicia Fajardo. While in 1996 in a farm 20 miles outside Guatemala City attacks took place not only on chickens but on dogs, sheep and horses with signs that the coops and cages had been ripped open, while wire mesh had been torn apart, impressive stuff. Witnesses were unsure if the creature in Guatemala was a big black dog, bat or bird. The true nature of the Chupacabra is still a mystery.
