"Vampire beast" caught on film

Where's Dracula ??????????

Two police officers in the US reckon they've managed to capture on video some footage of a mythical "blood-sucking" animal known as the Chupacabra.

Cpl. Brandon Riedel was training a new deputy in Cuero, Texas, when they saw something running down a dirt path.

At first glance they thought it was a coyote, but soon realised it looked nothing like one.

The pair describe the creature as short-legged and hairless, with an elongated snout.

"You need to record something like this because it's not everyday you find something that looks like this, running around out in the middle of the county," Cpl. Riedel told KSAT.com.

Stories about the Chupacabra - which supposedly attacks and sucks the blood of livestock and pets - go back to the 1990s and this isn't the first time locals believe they've seen the creature.

DeWitt County Sheriff Jode Zavesky is excited by his officers' footage: "You know, it's just kind of one of those things to hear about and talk about, but to actually see something on video that may actually be a live one, that's pretty amazing."

Come on guys , don't kill the urban legends so quick. Is all about having a bit of fun on our daily life's.

Other urban legends of QL

Rumanians are very notorious for their vlad stories, blame it, on the Hollywood movies and glamour.

I know for fact, Mr. Vegas is not from Las Vegas at all. He was born in the Sonara desert near the border of Mexico, very close to the fence line.

Britexpat thinks he is British, yet he speaks with an American accent from Boston.

Magicdragon he does not splashes spit balls of fire, just some big old green, and sticky buggers.

I've been asking this myself, too, brit.

If what you say is TRUE, then Dracula of QL has been using a false identity and scaring people without cause..

Wait though - He is also small, is caring towards other QLers, he doesn't live in Transylvania..

I'm confused now..

Is he or isn't he ?

The Truth about Vampire Bats

The famous Dracula novel by Bram Stoker has given bats a poor press - here are some facts about vampire bats to give the full picture.

• Vampire bats don’t live in Transylvania; there are three species and they all live in Central and South America.

• Vampire bats rarely feed on human blood; they much prefer the blood of cattle, horses, pigs and birds.

• A vampire bat doesn’t actually ‘suck’ blood; it makes a graze on its host’s skin to encourage a flow of blood and then laps this up with its tongue.

• Vampire bats are small. The commonest is only 7cm to 9cm long and takes approximately a tablespoon of blood each night.

• They are caring towards members of their colony; apart from behavior such as mutual grooming, they will even take care of others who are unable to feed by regurgitating the blood they have collected!

• Stroke victims may soon benefit from studies of a clot-dissolving substance in the vampires’ saliva.
