Perhaps that explains Helen Thomas and Nancy Pelosi.

eight-legged creature? The scientist thinks an 8-legged insect (mite) causes mange in coyotes and makes them scary looking and aggressive.
In other words, there isn't a creature that's a chucacabra. It's actually a coyote with mange caused by a mite bite according to this theory.

Oh, yes, "El Vampiro de Moca". Back in the 1970s,
El Vocero reported extensively about this creature, even as front-page news if I remember well.
At least in Puerto Rico, we cannot blame coyotes for the attacks since they are not found on the island. And how can we explain the drained blood?

Your story reminds me of similar accounts which began some 35-40 years ago about alien sightings in El Yunque. I remember there were these men who appeared in the late José Miguel Agrelot's "Encabulla, vuelve y tira" segment of El show del mediodía on WAPA-TV and told about their experience. As with the park ranger, these fellows did not sound like kooks or hoaxsters looking for cheap publicity. The alleged alien encounter was later profiled in a documentary on UFOs broadcast on rival TV station WKAQ.

The chupacabras does exist but is not a monster; rather, a diminutive attacker that turns a wild and harmless animal into an ugly and disturbed species
So, where are the human versions of chupacabras who used to be "wild and harmless"? Or, does the "diminutive attacker" not bite humans and turn them into "ugly and disturbed species"?
Anyhow, SYFY now has a new movie plot. It'll be like a wolfman movies but the bites will now come from "diminutive eight legged creatures".

a Texas biologist collected a carcass and had it mounted by a professional taxidermist. it’s NOT a coyote. coyotes don’t have those huge, very prominent butt pads or blue eyes. it’s a previously unkown species that sucks blood for sustenance. dna tests show relation to some russion wolf species and some other wild canid, but not coyote at all. i’ve seen it briefly in the south Texas scrub brush. it stinks. i think those pads are like musk glands so they can find each other.
