Farmers have described the Chupacabra as an evil creature with red glowing eyes, a beast that walks on its hind legs, resembles a dog like alien creature that only comes out at night; and sucks the blood from helpless livestock. Crystal Grant, a very successful veterinarian located in Skiatook Oklahoma, has studied this creature for most of her professional career. Mrs. Grant states “ This is the top dog of the K-9 species” she goes on to explain if the Chupacabra is actually a real creature, it would have supernatural powers that would be out of this world.

    Deloria offered many negative points about American anthropologists, but he also provided a sense of credibility by stating that he spent many years in the reservations studying and learning about the “real” Indians.
