Hunters claim they have shot dead the mythical, bloodsucking Chupacabra after it terrorised farmers and agricultural workers.
The demon-like creature, otherwise known as 'Goat Sucker', is said to drink the blood of livestock – but there has never been conclusive proof it actually exists. A group of men have now claimed they gunned one down in a forest in Guia Lopes da Laguna, west of São Paulo, Brazil.
Shocking footage, which has been shared online by the hunters, shows the deceased creature. It appears to have human-like hands as well as razor-sharp teeth and its body is roughly the size of a large monkey.

One of the hunters explains that they came across the vampiric creature while hunting wild boar on the edge of town.The man claims that they chased the bloodsucking monster and their hunting dogs fought with it, before one of the hunters allegedly shot it. They then filmed the video as 'proof' the creature was dead.
But not everyone believes it is the legendary creature. some sceptics believed it could be the decomposing body of a howler monkey. The species of monkey are native to South and Central American forests and are commonly found in the area, though they eat leaves, as well as fruits, nuts, and flowers.
Reports also said that the animal appeared to be dead for several days and not a fresh kill, like the hunters had claimed. Local authorities have not yet commented on the video.

Last month, a bizarre-looking creature spotted in Texas left locals baffled. Tina Kahlig was at her home in Hill Country Village when she spotted a strange creature lurking in her back garden.
The animal walked around her garden and even stopped to eat some berries that had fallen on the floor from a nearby bush before disappearing. She managed to quickly snap a few pictures of the creature – with the images showing it had a brownish coat, appeared to be about the size of a large dog, and had a long tail.
