What is a Chupacabra

434

The Chupacabra is a creature that resembles a living gargoyle said to exist in parts of Latin America, mostly Mexico and on the island of Puerto Rico. The Chupacabra has also been sighted by multiple eye-witnesses in Calaveras County, California. Reports say that the creature might have first appeared during the early to middle 1990s, harming animals of different species.

Translated literally from Spanish as “goat-sucker” (compare with chotacabras, the nightjar), the chupacabra is said to attack small livestock and drink their blood. Descriptions of this creature vary, and no one has produced undisputable evidence of its existence.

Some believe the chupacabra myth is a product of “mass hysteria” while others feel this is a weak explanation for the real dead animals resulting from the creature’s unexplained attacks. There are many eye-witness accounts dating back many years. (via Wikipedia)
