From my private collection: unusual and rare Chupacabra skull on heavy solid wooden stand. Build by professional taxidermist.

Chupacabra translates as ‘Goat sucker’. This legendary creature originates from South America, where it seems to spread since being reported for the first time in Puorto Rico in 1995. This blood thirsty animal is known to attack livestock. It sucks almost all the blood out of their prey leaving deep and nasty ‘Vampire like’ puncture wounds.

The canine like teeth in the skull and the retractable upper and lower front jaws with rows of sharp long dagger like teeth are easily capable of such wounds. A lot of details on the remarkable are still to be explored, no scientist has been able to explain all of them so far. 

It was only a matter of time for the Chapacabra to step into the light from the shadows… Now up for auction on Catawiki!

Non CITES species.

Great for collector.

Will be shipped well packed and secured.

Please have a look at my other auctions for more natural history items from my private collection. Combine shipping costs for multiple items to save yourself money. 

Any questions please ask. Happy to help.
