Hello, I've already walked back to another episode of Decoding the Unknown, as always, I'm your host,

Simon, one of my writers, this case Katie, is rid of me as Scripps.

But we're going to decode the legend of the Tupacabra, separating myth from reality.

I'm not really... Chupacabra. I don't really know much about it. I feel that this is quite an American one, isn't it?

It's like... Or a Mexican? Is it Mexican, the Chupacabra?

I don't know very much about this. What I do know is it's probably not a lot of reality.

Is it a goat? Does it eat goats? There's something to do with goats. I'm pretty sure.

It doesn't matter. Let's just jump in shall we? What is something that our scripted friends have in common?

We're talking Bigfoot, Nessie, the Ety and chums.

Let me guess they're not real.

I'd say that apart from the stories that have been passed out about the creatures, the whole otherworldly

appeal of them is that there has never been much in the way of physical evidence proving

their existence.

No bodies, nothing useful like hair or poop, no good videos or even photos that can't be

explained as hoaxes.

Of course, lack of evidence doesn't definitively prove anything, but what if there was a cryptid with not just

hundreds of verified victims to its name, but also multiple sightings that have been caught on camera?

Really? Does it even count as a cryptid anymore? Let's investigate the story of L. Trooper Cabra.

Um, okay.

She shows how little I know about this.

Maybe this is a real thing.

Surely it's like, if there's like victims and stuff it's some other beast.
