El Chupacabra – Means “the goat sucker” in Spanish, named because of the way it sucked all the blood from goats and other farm/domestic animals.
First modern time report was in Puerto Rico in 1994, however there are some reference in Mayan times that could be associated with the creature.
The Chupacabra has since migrated off the island and has recently been spotted in many locations including South America as well as the US. Although it was named because of its choice of goat-blood as a meal, the Chupacabra has reportedly attacked a variety of animals including dogs and sheep.
It is reported that the El Chupacabra punctures the neck with vampire like teeth and removed most of their blood, and often also removes internal organs without opening up the animal. Although some people say they have seen the Chupacabra’s tracks, in many cases there are no signs of blood or tracks around the dead animals.
It is hard to generally describe the El Chupacabra because sightings greatly differ. Most say it is either gray or green. Some say it has a large lizard-like tongue, others say it has wings.
A bipedal creature (one that stands upright like a human), the Chupacabra has had had many sightings where its height was reported to be anywhere from 3 and 6 feet tall.
With the body of a kangaroo, the head of a deer, some say it walks and some say it flies.
Where did it come from?
There are many colourful and thought provoking ideas of El Chupacabra’s origin. Many say it’s a new species, or a cross species. More eccentric researchers say it is a dinosaur or an alien. Many Puerto Rican people believe it is a Genetic Experiment gone wrong by the Americans in US facilities in the country.
El Chupacabra has also been reported in Australia.
