Chupacabra Research Paper

In Mexican culture we deal with a lot of superstition and folklore, but one of the most famous to go around Mexico, Central central America, and South america is El chupacabra.

It is believed that the Chupacabra would suck the blood out of chickens and mostly goats leaving an insightful wound right at the neck. Legend says that El Chupacabra would hypnotize its prey leaving the animal in complete disbelief. With no squeal from the livestock, farmers would wake the next morning in confusion. In the 1990’s, goats and chickens started disappearing suddenly. Local farmers would ponder the thought of losing their stock.“El Chupacabra” is also referred as “goat sucker” in translation to Spanish (Animal Planet). While the Chupacabra started in Puerto Rico, they have migrated moving to Mexico,Chile, Brazil, and into the United states like Florida, Michigan, Maine, and very oddly Oregon (Animal Planet). To have spread out to that extent, to me, is very odd.

Chupacabras have been described as resembling a rodent or reptile, with green-gray skin and a disgusting odor.

Chupacabra- Chupacabra -- which means "goat sucker" -- got it's name from the first reports of mutilated goats. In September 1995 Madeleine Tolentino and other eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a creature "three or four feet tall, with skin like that of a dinosaur, it had bright eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and multicolored spikes down its head and back." Other eyewitnesses have also said that it looks part bat, part kangaroo, and part alien Grey.

Of course, no whale is more important than the other. However, the Humpback Whale is the most marvelous creature of all of them. A typical Humpback Whale is 40 tons, and grows up to 40 to 60 feet long. It is known as the fifth largest whale in the world. Humpbacks are known as omnivores. This means that they eat fish and plants in the ocean. The worldwide population of a Humpback is at least 80,000 whales in all. They are known to be migrants just like other baleen whales. Unfortunately, these innocent Humpbacks are currently endangered. Many of them are endangered, because whale hunters kill them for the supply of oil and baleen. Humpbacks are compelling mammals because they have a detailed body, odd habits, a diverse diet, and a vast habitat.

The legend of the chupacabra has been a legend in mexico for a long time. I would have to say that this is my absolute favorite legend. I first heard this legend when I was at disney world at ten years of age. I hadn't thought anything of it, but when I saw a fake news clip about it I became very interested in this new creature. Conversely, I started watching paranormal phenomenons and el chupacabra would always be stated. Consequently, when I went to mexico on a cruise the year before last, you heard about this creature at farms and anywhere a chicken was, there were several reports of sightings.

El Chupacabra, translation:“Goat Sucker.” This is definitely something you don't want hanging out with your dogs or other outdoor animals that you may have. Don’t let “Goat Sucker” fool you, this will eat anything alive it can get its grubby hands on. Just because the name is in spanish does not mean it isn't in the U.S. Although the first sightings were in Puerto Rico, more sightings have been reported throughout all of the Americas. They have been reported as far north as Maine and as far south as Argentina.

The city of Bullabra is known for having an amazing lake right next to it. The lake has so many uses and it is used many many times in everyday life. Every day the city goes down to the lake to bathe and get clean. They typically just rinse off since there was no soap yet. Every morning before sunrise the fisherman head out onto the lake and catch lots of fresh fish and seafood. Special fisherman even gets seaweed and other plants from the side of the lake and bring them to town to sell. At 1 pm every day all the women in town head down to the lake to wash their laundry. The women dunk their laundry in the water rub away at any dirt or stains and then leave it out to dry on their clotheslines. The most important use of the lake

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a cobra? From what I’ve found out, cobras live a very interesting life, from how they react to predators and prey, to the different types of cobras out in the world. Cobras have the scientific name of Naja, which means “little sister” in Greenlandic. Another fascinating fact, all though it is very sad, is that cobras are threatened by deforestation, forest fragmentation, and illegal wildlife trade. How cobras live and survive is mainly based upon their behavior, environment, and their different types of species.

Also known as the Argentine tortoise, the southern wood tortoise, and la tortuga terrestre patagónica [translation: the Patagonia terrestrial turtle], the Chaco tortoise is a rare species endemic to Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay in South America. Formally described by British zoologist John Edward Gray (18??–18??) in 1870, and originally assigned to the genus Testudo, then to the genus Geochelone, the Chaco tortoise currently resides in the South American tortoise genus Chelonoidis.

High in the Andes at 11,800 feet above sea level, the province of Chumbivilcas is home to communities that trace their ancestry back to the Inca and Chanka cultures. The indigenous people of the area speak Quechua as their primary language and continue many of the practices that were part of their culture before the arrival of the Spanish. On December 25, they gather for festivities including dancing, singing, drinking and feasting. But the primary feature of the day is focused on takanakuy, ceremonial fistfights between members of the community. Hundreds of people from throughout the province gather to watch the fighters display their manhood and courage, uphold family honor and settle grievances. Some dress in traditional costumes that represent

Much of the Chaco is still inhabited by indigenous people who often do not have rights to the territory they are on. Development brought on by actions from organizations like the IIRSA can be devastating to the indigenous people. Natural resource companies can displace communities. They can also harm the indigenous people by extracting resources which the indigenous rely on for their way of life. The IIRSA is attempting to boost economic development by promoting resource extraction and agriculture production, but in doing so they are harming many communities that need the Chaco’s resources to survive. According to a USAID Issue Brief about Tenure and Indigenous Peoples “new infrastructure to improve access to markets, facilitate trade, and promote economic growth” leads to an increase in demand for land. This new infrastructure makes it easier for “settlers, merchants, and illegal loggers to clear forests and settle in indigenous territories.” The USAID brief also mentions how this infrastructure has both directly and indirectly caused negative effects in the Gran Chaco region. They report how small-scale illegal loggers invading indigenous titled lands “follow[ed] the new transoceanic highway built as part of the IIRSA development plan, which threatens indigenous peoples in South America through interlinked set of dams, canals, and multiple routes to the Pacific. The highway crisscrosses highly fragile, biodiverse, and mainly indigenous lands of the Amazon basin and Gran

The case is at the core of the globalization, free trade and environmental debate (Ellis, 1996). Matamoros is a city located in the border of Mexico with the United States. The northern Mexican border experienced an intense industrial development since 1965, with the introduction of the Border Industrialization Program by the federal Mexican government. Thousands of maquiladoras, which import raw materials or component parts duty free and then export the finished product to the country of origin, were established. By the end of the year 2000, there were 3703 maquiladoras along the border (Contreras, 2007), 119 of them located in Matamoros. Source
