Late at night, Gonzalo Rodriguez heard strange noises and noises coming from a chicken coop on his property - a commotion that was far from normal. He decided to send his son to check with a flashlight to make sure that the thieves were not at work. 

The young man obeyed his father, and with a flashlight in his hand, stealthily approached a large chicken coop, horrified to see a strange black animal about 40 cm tall, resembling a small dog with a long tail and standing on two legs. He recalls that among the few things he could see in the light of the flashlight, the animal had a very long tongue. 

Seeing the light, the creature disappeared into the thicket, skilfully jumping over the wall. 

An inspection of the chicken coop revealed that 20 chickens had been killed. The police authorities of the neighboring city of San Ramon were notified, and Officer Marcos Hernandez came to the scene to confirm not only Gonzalo Rodriguez's story, but also the testimony of the frightened neighbors. 

The birds were intact, and the only sign of their damage was two small holes in their backs, through which the strange intruder is supposed to have sunk his fangs to remove or suck out the blood. 

A few days earlier, several dead sheep were found with the same characteristics; double punctures on the neck or back, and not a single drop of blood.

Time: late night
Late at night Gonzalo Rodriguez heard strange noises and a ruckus coming from the henhouse on his property—a commotion that was far from being normal. He decided to send his son to check with a flashlight to make sure thieves weren’t at work. The youth obeyed his father and flashlight in hand approached the large henhouse stealthily, becoming terrified upon seeing a strange black animal, standing some 40cm, tall and resembling a small dog with a long tail and standing on two legs. He recalls, among what little he was able to see through the flashlight’s beam, that the animal had a very long tongue. Upon seeing the light, the creature fled into the vegetation, skillfully leaping over a wall. An inspection of the henhouse revealed that 20 hens had been slain. Police authorities of the nearby town of San Ramon were notified and Officer Marcos Hernandez reported to the scene to corroborate not only Gonzalo Rodriguez’s account, but also the testimony of frightened neighbors. The birds were whole and the only sign of damage to them were the two small orifices on their backs, through which it is presumed that the strange assailant drove its fangs to remove or suck the blood. Several days before several dead sheep had been found with the same characteristics; twin puncture marks on their necks or back and not a single drop of blood.
