On a farm in the settlement of Tintina, near the Argentine city of Santiago del Estero, a series of strange attacks on calves occurred.
The farm workers are so scared that they refuse to be on duty alone at night, they believe that the chupacabra is to blame for everything. And local veterinarians, who ignorantly do not believe in monsters, cannot logically understand why all the dead calves have the same exact wounds and all the blood has been removed from the bodies.
Dos Leones farm, by the grace of the deities, is large, it contains about 650 head of cattle. The attacks on calves began in early summer and have been going on for 2.5 months now. Sometimes three dead calves were found in one night, and sometimes a whole week passed without incident. Occasionally, live calves with wounds on their noses were found. All the dead animals have the same wounds in the nasal part, as if something forcefully "tore out the nostrils" and removed the entire nasal structure.
No known local predator leaves such wounds. And when the veterinarian performed an autopsy on several carcasses in the area of the heart, it turned out that both the heart and other nearby internal organs of the calves seemed to be heavily dried, there was no blood in them at all.
It should also be noted that in the humid climate of Argentina, the body of a dead cow usually begins to decompose within a few hours after death and the smell attracts scavengers. But in this case, not a single vulture attacked the dead calves, not a single fly!
According to one of the farm workers, even after a few days, the corpses of the slaughtered calves did not stink at all. Another farm worker ventured to stand guard near the calf pen one night. And at about 2 a.m., I noticed some movement there. He shone a flashlight and saw an animal that looked like a dog, only incredibly large, bigger than any other well-known local dog.
The proportions of the body of this "dog" immediately seemed to him somehow wrong, but the head of the "dog" did not look like a dog at all and the head itself seemed too big for the body. Out of great fear of the unknown creature, the worker ran to the farmhouse for help, but when he returned with other workers, they found only a new, freshly killed calf. His entire head, including a large wound near his nose, was covered with some kind of viscous mucus.
The veterinarian examined samples of this substance, which turned out to be saliva, which contained certain preservatives. There is no such thing in the usual saliva of predators, on the contrary, it contains enzymes that help break down tissues, rather than preserve them. In just 2.5 months of attacks, the Dos Leones farm thus lost several dozen calves. In an attempt to catch the predator, the farm owners have increased the number of night watchmen, but so far it has not been beneficial.
Thank you to the patron spirit of the night that it was probably just chupacabras and not vampires hunting on human mortal people!
