The jaracaca is a vampire from Brazil, and isn’t quite like
your everyday vampire. The jaracaca
usually appears in the shape of a snake, and it loves to drink blood and breast
milk! The vampire slithers its way
between a nursing mother and her child while the mother sleeps, and then it
puts the end of its tail into the baby’s mouth in order to keep it quiet, so
that it can then drink the mother’s breast milk undetected. This vampire prefers milk to blood, and
will only drink blood from anyone if there is not enough milk available for it
to drink until it is satisfied. The jaracaca doesn’t only pose
as a danger by drinking your blood, but it can also secret venom into its victims, which then results in the victim going crazy. Waking up crazy isn’t
something that most of us plan every night before we go to bed!
Ooh boy.
