Watch: Drone films chupacabra in Bolivia?

A peculiar piece of drone footage from Bolivia shows what appears to be a bipedal creature lurking in a field of crops and some suspect that the oddity could be the infamous chupacabra. According to a local media report, the puzzling video was recently captured near the city of Oruro. In the footage, the drone passes over a vast field of crops and, on the ground below, one can see a sizeable dark form that seems to be hunched over while standing on two legs. The puzzling anomaly presumably went unnoticed when the video was filmed as, unfortunately, the UAV makes no attempt at getting a better look at the mysterious creature in the field.

"It is strange, it looks like a dog, but it has a hump further back," observed area resident Carla Flores, "looking at the images it has the same position as the 'chupacabra'" One reason why she and many others in the area suspect that the creature could be the infamous monster of cryptozoological lore is that Oruro has previously been the site of several strange slayings wherein cows, llamas, and alpacas have been found drained of their blood in an inexplicable and unsettling fashion. Upon seeing the footage, local farmers attempted to track down the creature spotted in the video, but their search efforts proved futile.

That said, thinking that the murderous monster may be in their midst, many have gone so far as to install lights around their property in the hopes of either dissuading the creature from feasting on their livestock or, in a worst case scenario, catch of a glimpse of the 'goat sucker' in action. Skeptics, of course, say that the footage is not clear enough to determine what, exactly, the anomaly in the field might be and dismiss the chupacabra as being merely an urban legend rather than a genuine predator out on the prowl. With that in mind, what's your take on the curious drone footage? Share your thoughts with us at the C2C Facebook page.
