A terrifying demon-like bloodsucking mythical beast known as ‘Chupacabra’ has allegedly been shot by a group of hunters.
The creature is said to drink the blood of livestock, striking fear through local farmers and agricultural workers.
But a group of men claimed they gunned down the mysterious animal – which has human-like hands and is roughly the size of a large monkey.
The dramatic slaying happened in the woods in da Laguna, just west of São Paulo, Brazil.
The men claimed in a video they killed Chupacabra, whose name translates to ‘Goat-Sucker’.
One of the hunters explained they came across the odd-looking creature while hunting wild boar on the edge of town.
The man claimed they chased the bloodsucking beast before their hunting dogs fought with it.
Another of the hunters in the group then quickly shot the creature dead.
They explained they filmed their experience as proof of the monster’s demise.
But they have been dealt a blow with some skeptics also claiming the footage could be that of a decomposing howler monkey.
The primates are native to South American and Central American forests and are commonly found in and around the area.
Several other reports claimed the animal in the footage appeared to be dead for several days and not a fresh kill, as claimed by the hunters.
Earlier this year, ‘Chupacabra’ was feared to have killed 30 sheep in Peru, marking the latest attack on livestock in the South American region.
The animals were allegedly discovered with their eyes and brains missing, and with several perforations to their heads, reports claim.
Authorities in the South American nation launched a probe into the mysterious deaths after dead flocks were discovered on two separate farms.
In June, ‘Chupacabra’ was filmed walking across a field after allegedly drinking the blood of local livestock.
Drone footage appears to show a dark, two-legged creature walking across an open field Oruro in Bolivia.
The hunched figure was filmed shortly after several cows, llamas, and alpacas were found dead in the area.
Many locals attributed their deaths to Chupacabra because of injuries on the animal’s necks,
Local farmers built fences around their livestock in response to the alleged demonic attack.
