Mysterious bald beast with bizarrely long limbs and tail terrorises farm ‘snatching animals in its jaw before vanishing’

Footage said to show an unidentified animal in Ciudad Juárez, northern Mexico, has prompted speculation, although local authorities say they have received no reports confirming its existence. According to The Sun, the recordings appear to show a hairless figure with a rounded head, long limbs and a tail moving on four legs and climbing a wall.

The footage has been linked to reported attacks on chickens, roosters and rabbits, but those claims have not been independently established. Paranormal investigator Jaime Maussan said he had examined the recordings and was collecting accounts from residents in the Chihuahua city. “It’s a predator. I’m not saying it’s extraterrestrial, but it is something scary,” he told local media.

Maussan’s team also presented photographs reportedly taken by trail cameras and claimed that experts had been unable to identify the animal shown. The report did not provide a confirmed scientific assessment establishing what the images depict. He further claimed that some residents had left their homes out of fear and said he planned to install cameras and traps to gather additional evidence.

Online speculation has included comparisons with the Chupacabra, a creature from local folklore associated with attacks on livestock. Others have suggested that the footage could depict an unusual-looking example of a known animal. No biological evidence has been presented to establish the identity of the figure or demonstrate that it belongs to an unknown species.

Sergio Rodríguez, director of civil protection in Ciudad Juárez, said his department had received no reports confirming the alleged animal’s existence. The identity of the figure, the authenticity of the recordings and their claimed connection to livestock attacks remain unverified.
