Goat sucker seems to have reappeared in Texas. Is it this time?
You probably remember hearing macabre stories about the much-feared goat sucker, the mysterious creature that killed innocent animals in some regions of North America and South America, including Brazil. This animal, which apparently enjoyed drinking the blood of other animals, certainly left a lot of little children with trouble getting to sleep.
A story that took place in 2007 in Texas was revealed only now and there are people out there thinking that a goat sucker was finally caught. Let's go in parts, so that you understand well what it is.
Serial killer
Nutritionist Phylis Canion reported that her chicken husbandry in the Texas city of Cuero was being hampered by interference from some creature that killed the animals by the neck and sucked the blood of the animals. In all, she lost 28 chickens to the bloodsucking monster.
Canion even tried to find the animal responsible for the damage, but it was very difficult to find, because the killer seemed to do his dirty work only at night and early in the morning. In such cases, the search becomes difficult due to the darkness.
Analyze
One morning, however, without searching, Canion found a dead animal in his backyard. The animal was too strange and had dog features, but with some different characteristics: the eyes were extremely blue, the posture was more curved and the tail had two kinds of bags.
The bizarre animal was taken for analysis and DNA testing revealed that it is actually a hybrid animal - descended from animals of different species. In the case of the goat sucker in question, his mother was a female coyote and his father a Mexican wolf.
Is it or is not it?
So far this has been the only animal of its kind caught, but there are other reports of people claiming to have witnessed similar attacks. Some even say that they have seen the animal circulating in some regions near Cuero. It is estimated that the animal can run at a speed of 56 km / h.
According to Canion, this is not the kind of animal that can be attracted to capture it. She points out that she does not intend to annihilate the "goat lollipops", but to be able to gather material to perform more DNA tests. Until this happens, it is not clear which animal this is. Was it related to the dreaded goat sucker? What do you think?
