Bald long-limbed creature filmed near Mexican farms as officials reject snatching claims

A hairless creature with long limbs has been filmed scaling a wall in northern Mexico and blamed for snatching farm animals, even as city officials say they have no confirming reports.

The US Sun reported that CCTV footage from Ciudad Juárez, in the state of Chihuahua, appears to show a bald animal with a round head, a tail, and spindly fingers climbing a wall and moving on all fours.

Locals have tied the figure to attacks on chickens, roosters, and rabbits. The animal is described as grabbing livestock in its jaws and then vanishing. No count of lost animals, no dates, and no carcass evidence appear in the available accounts.

Investigator calls it a predator; city hall says no proof

Paranormal investigator Jaime Maussan reviewed the footage and told local media the animal looks agile, intelligent, and unlike any known species. His team has also shown trail-camera photographs and says outside experts could not identify what they saw.

Maussan has been gathering resident accounts in the area and claims some people have left their homes out of fear. He says he intends to set cameras and traps to document the animal further.

He put the threat in blunt terms.

"It's a predator. I'm not saying it's extraterrestrial, but it is something scary."

Sergio Rodríguez, director of civil protection in Ciudad Juárez, struck a different note. He said his department had not received any reports confirming the creature’s existence. Local authorities rejected the larger claim of an unknown animal terrorizing livestock.

Unnamed researchers noted that further analysis is still needed. No biological samples have been presented.

Strange video, thin paper trail

What exists on the public record is narrow: undated wall-climbing footage, trail-camera stills, livestock-loss claims passed through an investigator, and a flat denial from the city’s civil protection office.

Who owns the cameras, whether the raw files are public, which experts reviewed the photos, and what method they used all remain unanswered. Named witnesses to an actual snatching are not on the record beyond Maussan’s summary of local stories.

Ciudad Juárez sits on Mexico’s northern border. A scare that empties homes and targets small farms is the kind of story that spreads fast. So does the gap between a startling clip and a confirmed predator.

Until someone produces a body, a clear attack scene, or a verified chain of sightings, the official position stays simple: no confirming reports. The cameras may keep rolling. The burden of proof has not moved.

Fear is easy to film. Evidence is harder, and that is the standard adults still use when livestock, homes, and public order are on the line.
