Brother and sister filmed a mythical bloodsucker on their phone. Legend has it that the chupacabra is an animal similar to a dog, but with a longer muzzle. A distinctive feature of this mythical creature is that it sucks blood from goats and other domestic animals.

These sinister creatures have been spotted on a very large territory that stretches from Latin America to the southern part of the United States. And although some say that the chupacabra is nothing but a legend, one family claims to be the owner of the video, which, according to them, acts as an undoubted evidence of the existence of a mysterious animal.

Margaux Huckabay claims that her brother noticed the legendary chupacabra. Quickly grabbing his phone, the young man managed to capture a rare animal on video.

"It looked very strange. He really had a long, elongated muzzle and a long tail," the girl told KCTV5.

The girl and her brother did not immediately believe what they saw, and are still wondering if the animal they saw is a mythical bloodsucker, which is told by South American legends.

"I recently looked at Google images of a chupacabra. The creature that my brother and I saw is very similar to those pictures. It's very strange," Margaux says.

The next evening after the memorable meeting, the girl and her brother again went to the place where they saw the animal, but the second date did not take place. After that, they posted the video they had captured on Facebook, and Internet users began to actively speculate about what kind of creature the young people had met.

"People said it was probably a coyote with scabies, but then someone wrote that the creature didn't look like a coyote. The coyote has a longer tail," she said.

In any case, whoever this animal is, it may still be in the vicinity of Kansas City.

"It would be great if we could see him again," Margaux said.

Many scientists believe that the animal, which is usually mistaken for a chupacabra, is a coyote with a severe form of infection, possibly similar to scabies.

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.
