In the Orenburg region unknown to science being showed great interest in agricultural animals. No one has seen, how it hunts, but the consequences of its appearance local farmers will remember for a long time... Unknown beast called the creature, by analogy with the American phenomenon Chupacabras, which means "sucking the blood of goats" (suffer most goats). This is a real scourge for farmers, which has now spread to Russia.



The events developed in Saraktashsky area. At the end of March 2005 on a remote farm Sapelka inhabited by two families of farmers, someone masterfully killed thirty-two adult turkeys. Their bodies have lost a significant amount of blood. People tried to use food that Turkey, which still trembled in its death throes. But then refused this idea because of the sharp bitter taste of cooked meat.

The attack was fixed in gavrilovka village near Saraktash. Only information from there on time have been reported, and therefore they are too stingy. There "violent criminal" people conventionally called barabashka.

Later predator showed up in the village of Vozdvizhenka and the neighbouring village of Chesma. First barbarian raids were quite rare. But in early may, they became more frequent. In the center of the village and habitable on the outskirts every night was destroyed by 2-3 sheep with a yard. Sometimes in one night it came to three attacks at a time. In total, killed about three dozen sheep, not counting the missing. Moreover, horses, cows and other large animals silent killer remained untouched. In one of the sheds, where there were eight sheep, door pidpyralys scrap iron, and close behind the wall completely nepasiseke stood horses and cows. This scrap Chupacabra pulled back and immediately killed four sheep. The others jumped out of the car and started running around the yard. The host, of course, ran out of the house, but I was too late: six sheep were already dead. On the carcasses remained the same procosi, as in all other cases. Horse tied on the street and sees what is happening, showed no signs of excitement. Then said the farmer, came here not a wolf.

Local residents were afraid to go out late at night in the yard, and especially on the street. Fear fueled by the unexpected loss of cattle. In the economy of Alfia Mukachevo, for example, two sheep disappeared. Family Dashevich six sheep were missing. And Erbulat Izbasov sheep was lost, one was killed in his presence...

Some brave people decided to be on duty at night to watch for and to catch the monster that is bringing the horror of the area. One day, when the light hanging lanterns, was the first to notice this mysterious creature. Eighteen-year-old boy, who defended the card (sheepfold) with installed a floodlight at night jumped out of his "shack", when the sheep began loud bleat. They ran around in circles, it was obviously scared. Running up closer to him, he noticed a black figure, which immediately went away. She had the dimensions of a large dog and was moving rapidly but unevenly, long jumps, though its front legs were shorter than the rear. The beast disappeared into the narrow gap between the boards of the fence, deftly having squeezed there incomprehensible way.

Another incident in which Chupacabra showed its appearance, happened on 9 June. Not contiguous eye Erbulat heard a noise in the yard. When he ran out to see what was up, he saw the expected picture of sheep lying in the corner half dead, and the calf in fear pressed against the wall of the enclosure. At the same moment before his silhouette appeared strange creatures, like a large dog. Metnuvshis in side of the fence, behind which there was a backyard, Chupacabra high jump easily overcame him, and then disappeared into the darkness. According to an eyewitness, the growth of the creature was about 1.2 meters, on the back there was the likeness of a hump.

Wasting no time, the victim host ran over to the still warm RAM and prosonus the throat with a knife, to get your blood and save the meat. But on earth there'd never fallen a drop of blood. On the sides was the gaping wounds from the bites, both ears were torn. It was said that in close corral was a struggle - RAM tried to fend off the monster.

Soon, the same court granted a whole bunch of creatures. One Chupacabra was reddish color, the other is dark gray. That gray led a litter of puppies. Staying in the middle of cards, "red" looked first at one point, then to another; got up on his hind legs, looked around, thinking of something. Dog owners got out of the house and wanted to bark. But the creature growled first. The dog whined, her tail and beat in your vault. Erbulat failed: thrown in uninvited guests a stick and shouted. They - skelter. Adult Chupacabra left with a piece in the teeth...

When the farmer began to asturianu carcasses of sheep, when viewed noticed on his neck a couple of holes, like a gunshot wound. These cuts are made with surgical precision, penetrated into the throat deeply enough. Under the skin of the flesh was raspoloven like a metal brush. And, most interestingly, the meat was pale, and around cuts it went black (perhaps because injected acid enzyme blood-thinning with a strong concentration). From what I have seen Erbulat was unwilling to risk his health: by packing in bag carcass, took her to the cattle burial grounds.

On a fixed horizontal upper Board of the shelter after the attack was discovered deep marks from four claws. On the sash even tuft of wool left (grey-red color). Height from ground - approximately six feet. Apparently, the mysterious beast when jumping fell back paws, Proskuriv while on Board. The trail from the right paw was smaller. The door is made of vertical metal fittings, was curved to the side of the street. People wondered: it is what it is necessary to have the power to bend the blow or jolt tight fittings?

On the scene in the early hours went a local police officer and a veterinarian. On the instruction of the body poor animals immediately packaged and released in a special pit, covered with slabs. Veterinary doctor Mergen Tashev assured that in case of cattle guilty normal wolves or local dogs. Only a very clever and cunning.
- Sheep died from strangulation, - he gave their verdict. I examined every carcass. In all cases on the throat in sheep traces from two teeth and a small incised wound. Several animals torn piece of meat...

However, farmers were not satisfied with such banal explanation. First, it is difficult to imagine a pack of wolves, wandering in the center of the village. Secondly, in this region they are rare. Third, the old-timers cannot recall in Vozdvizhenka and other nearby villages happened something like this before. Mass slaughter is for the first time. Fourth, predatory animals never abandon its prey. If they hunt, eat victim completely right on the spot, or drag her into their network, secluded refuge. So behave any predators in nature. That is the version of the vet could not withstand criticism. But the local policeman reason was supported, just ignoring glaring oddities.

Terror was done exclusively in the night, early in the morning. Carcasses were not broken, and not lastreplay. The only mark on each body is procus in the neck. Throat slit gently, like a knife. Most of the victims had little blood. Openings, of which she was sucked, up to 5 mm in diameter and a depth of several centimetres. Around these "marks" was not even the blood stains. Signs of rigor Mortis did not manifest itself. But to bodies refused to approach other living creatures. Other smells near Touche was not felt.

The situation in the Vozdvizhenka were very concerned about Dmitry Malinovskogo from Orenburg. In the village he live relatives who through phone calls were regularly informed about the actions of the unknown predator. About сhupacabras - "goat vampire"who profit on the American continent, Dmitry heard with the Institute of years, but he had never thought that this would ever descended to the Orenburg region. His friend Valery Blacky - graduate g - also very interested in the phenomenon, and was ready at-all costs to find the trace of Chupacabra. Eventually filled the expedition, to carry out which happened only in June. The Orenburg hit the road together with the local newspaper reporter Konstantin Artemyev and the photographer Valery Gurkovy.

Were examined some pens in the yards where Chupacabra paid a visit. Aprolis numerous victims, their testimony was recorded on video and audio carriers. Unfortunately, track devil's creation has failed barely noticeable traces of the erased on the ground quickly.

Chief specialist of the Department of game tenants in the Orenburg region Zufar Faizullin, supplementing the opinion of a veterinarian, commented on the situation as follows:
- Most likely the mother wolf trained puppies to hunt, showing them their skills. If they are nocturnal, forced to wander back through some time to the village. In the postwar years, the wolves in the area, there were about seven hundred, and in the 80's this predator was almost completely destroyed. Today, large populations remained in Bashkiria and Kazakhstan. We occupy their niche feral dogs. Perhaps it is even a hybrid dogs with lupus. All attacks seen wolf's trail. And in the process of learning the cubs, as a rule, try to pull the victim to bite her neck and sides.

The settlement administration Dmitriy and Valeriya and correspondents "Orenburg" explained that from time to time on sheep attack dogs. Perhaps even the master, as in the neighboring village of Chesme. In Vozdvizhenka almost believed that filth stray dogs. In may their shot, but it didn't help - the attacks continued. Lost sheep stayed more than one night in ambush, waiting for the return of a mysterious beast at the crime scene. In vain. The robber was clearly felt the danger and so was careful. Dogs seem to fear him no less than sheep. All people testified that he just killed animal blood emerged from the Russian Academy of Sciences. That is, it is either absent, or it is left very little.

Zufar Faizullin began to understand that the population does not believe him, and among wolves matter is not closed. We had to draw on the help of lynx.
- Our Patriotic trot, too, there is a desire to not eat meat of the killed animal, but just the blood. The truth appears that desire only in late spring or in summer, when food many (but not early spring, as in our case, - A.I.). Have lynx and another characteristic feature: even well-fed, she never stops before the attack on easy prey. So, a kind of a way of training. Lynx are found in the Orenburg region, in Bashkiria, which is from Vozdvizhenka hand.

Specialist of the game tenants in Saraktashsky area Vasily Nechaev, familiar with the habits of predators firsthand to the arguments in favour of training cubs reacted extremely skeptical. Can't she, in his opinion, in the spring and early summer far breed puppies, because it's still early. Especially not lead cubs on villages, putting them there in mortal danger. Moreover, in the vicinity of Vozdvizhenka no wolf's lair. Nechaev he checked. And not suck wolves blood through the small holes. They didn't suck, because of their fall is not designed for this. About lynx is also doubtful is too cautious animal that is not suede on the territory of the people. Lynx and winter in the village unlikely. Attacks it from the back and went clearly in the back of the head, whereas in animals wound was located on the side under the lower jaw. Therefore, neither wolves or lynx here is not "smell".

With Vasiliy Ivanovich agreed almost the entire population. But the main question is who Weinstube at night and Wortley animals such an unusual way, remained open.

In the information race in addition to the "Orenburg" participated newspaper "Orenburg Madam" and regional TV channel OREN-TV. Last carried out an investigation, which resulted in the report, where occurring hell were compared with the events on the American continent. To prevent unwanted spreading rumors far beyond Orenburg, representatives of the local administration publicly announced the TV channel of incompetence on this issue and strictly forbade any disclosure of information and giving interviews to those who will be interested in what is happening. Then showered notes in the local press, like the mythical Chupacabra nothing to do with it, and murderers need to search among the local predators. The opposition of the authorities was in full swing...

Was the month of June. After a brief lull vampire resumed its hunting. This time the victims were chickens. Killed countless heads. There were the same strange features of extermination. Then the activity of Chupacabra gradually began to decline. The latest attack dates back to the third decade of July, then killed a sheep. The other sheep in the village are no more...

In September Dmitry Malinowski was again in the land - floated on boats on the river Sakmara in the company of their friends from the village Kondurova to the village Yellow. And now, being in 30-40 kilometers from Vozdvizhenka in the upper reaches of course, he noticed on the sandy shore of the two sets of footprints leading to the water. Rafters moored and explored quite fresh footprints on the subject of their similarity to known animals. Subsequently even experienced hunters and zoologists from the Institute was unable to determine their belonging even to some famous individuals, dwelling not only on the territory of the forest-steppe zone. Judging by the depth of the prints being weighed 30-35 pounds (human leg is buried in the wet sand stronger). Claws on his five-fingered claw reached two centimeters, which could membranes between fingers wide apart. Behind stretched trace of the tail. Dmitry imagined a creature with little front paws, but quite a large rear (the size of the palm), which walked on four legs, at the water rose up on his hind legs, lifting a long tail, and then started jumping like a kangaroo. The distance between the jumping was about 1 meter.

Based on the collected data and data from South America, we can say that the Chupacabra is not rare solitary animal, and a full view, the main characteristic of which is the night life and the lack of natural enemies in nature. Naturally, that species traits "saraktashsky monster" conform to the descriptions Puerto Rican Chupacabra. The same gait, the same habits, except that only looks a bit not the same because of the habitat. "Our" is the number of fingers, the presence of the tail and coat. Wandering animals in separate groups, can grow and do all the things that make the usual predators. As we, the West also lost in conjectures: who are these beings are, where they come from, why suddenly appear and then as suddenly disappear? Undoubtedly, we are dealing with an unusual type of carnivorous animal, yet unknown to science.

Where next time will be declared the Russian Chupacabra - is unknown. This means that in any rural areas, one may expect that the dead exhausted animals. The next attack mysterious creature representatives of the Monitoring Station of the Ural Anomalistic "URAN", which includes Dmitry Malinowski and the author of these lines, will equip the expedition, equipped with modern fixing equipment. The search will be conducted with the bait "bait". If we can track down a creature? Can unravel its secrets? Time will show...
