- LEON - The skeleton of the
suspected Chupacabras was taken to the Medical Campus of UNAN-Leon yesterday,
to determine the species to that it belongs, affirmed the biologist Pedrarias
Dávila.
-
- We recorded the characteristics of the skeletal system,
number of vertebrae and ribs, nails, decomposition state, among others,
to place it in a data base, he explained.
-
- He added that the second stage (of the analysis) includes/understands
the preservation of the rest so that the state of decomposition does not
advance; and third, a team of specialists will establish to what species
the animal belongs.
-
- Dávila showed that they do not relate it to any
well-known animal because they could hurry. What is assured is that the
remains belonged to 'heterodonto,' that is to say a mammal.
-
-
- "We can not say when there will be results because
we lack some pieces (of the animal), that is the reason why we must take
time; for example, if we must send samples of DNA to the outside for analysis,"
said Dávila.
-
- Jorge Luis Talavera, owner of the property San Lorenzo,
where the supposed Chupacabras shot and killed, said, "There were
three targets...and one was black. The one that died was yellow. "In
previous weeks, I wounded one, but I did not manage to kill it," he
concluded.

- LEON- The animal's skeleton
that sucked the blood of the sheep at the farm "San Lorenzo",
property of Jorge Luis Talavera, 154 kilometers of Malpasillo, was found
in the early Monday morning hours 80 meters from the victim's corral.
-
- "It could be a hybrid animal made up of several
species, created in a laboratory by genetic engineering", said Gioconda
Chévez, veterinarian of Malpaisillo.
-
- The Specialist described the animal like a very uncommon
specie, after observing the skeleton with yellow hair on its short tail,
having great eye cavities, smooth bat skin like, big claws, jaw shows big
teeth and a outstanding crest sticking out from the main vertebra.
-
- Jorge Talavera explained that three days ago, He shot
with his rifle a supposed "chupacabras" Killing it, but the "
zopilotes" (vultures) had eaten the animal flesh and it was in a state
of decomposition. In 15 days sucked the blood of 25 sheep and his neighbor
lost 35 others. An average of 5 sheep per night."
-
-
- In the meantime Captain Leonardo Carmona, Laboratory
Criminalist Chief of Malpaisillo, said that the remain of the animal will
be studied in the Hospital School of León, where veterinarians and
biologists will assist in the examination of the remains, according with
the information provided by Edgard Orozco, responsible for the Department
of Pathology.
