Chupacabra
By Phoebe Charpentier
As the legend goes the mangy mutt of the Southwest, the Chupacabra comes to farms at night and sucks the blood of livestock, commonly goats. Some people believe that the Chupacabra has visited them because of the sucked blood of animals. Most biologists call the Chupacabra a contemporary legend.
The first reported sighting of a Chupacabra by humans was in 1995. It is thought that many people have reported seeing the Chupacabra to attention from the media. Most sightings do not hold enough evidence, but some sightings are considered credible.
One biologist discovered that a movie called Species came out in 1995. It showcased a mythical creature called the Chupacabra.
In the first report, documented by an unknown reporter, eight sheep were found with three puncture wounds and were completely drained of blood. There have been many sightings reported in Southern North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The first sighting of Chupacabra was reported in 1995 in Puerto Rico. There were eight sheep completely drained of blood.
People were starting to find other answers for their troubles until Phylis Canion, a Texas state resident came along. In 2007 Canion claimed to have shot down Chupacabra. One night she heard her chickens making a lot of noise and went to the coop with her shotgun. There she shot down what she thought was a dog, until morning came. Then she realized it was not a dog, but maybe the mythical creature Chupacabra.
The DNA found in the animal was tested and can be linked to no other animal. The Chupacabra still haunts the Southwest, but we learn more and more every time the creature comes for dinner.

Man finds big foot
By Spenser Trella
The folktale/legend Bigfoot has finally been caught.
As the story goes, he was caught by a hunter named Rick Byer. He shot Bigfoot three times with his shotgun and had the animal's DNA tested. Its DNA revealed that the creature was part of the primate family. Primates are the family of creatures that include monkeys, apes, chimps and gorillas. Byer had it stuffed and is now touring with it across the country in a glass cage.
To catch Bigfoot, Byer said, that he bought $200 worth of ribs at a local supermarket, and then he tied them to strings and attached the strings to tree branches. Next, he just sat and waited with his shotgun.
When Bigfoot protruded from the woods, Buyer admitted he was scared, but in the end, Dyer was able to successfully shoot and kill Bigfoot.

Mapinguari
By Madison Wilson
Found in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil and Bolivia, the mapinguari is a Brazilian mythical creature that is said to be a hairy, six feet tall monster. It has one eye, big claws, and a second mouth placed on its stomach. Looking almost like an ape with long arms, powerful claws, a sloping back; it can reach up to seven feet heights.
While bullets or arrows can not protrude through the mapinguari’s skin, the only known weakness of the creature is that it avoids bodies of water, like creeks, lagoons, and other water forms. Also, the mapinguari doesn’t eat humans. If the mapinguari senses a human, it will stand up on its hind feet like a grizzly bear.
In 1937, there was a report saying that the mapinguari went on a rampage, killing over 100 cows. The report also stated another gruesome scene. Gross, huh?
