Chupacabras are s a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities. It is said to feed on livestock, including goats.

The name comes from the Spanish word chupar, which is "to suck" and cabra, which means "goat". Hence the word means "goat sucker".

The first reported attacks occurred in March 1995 in Puerto Rico, which is said it attacked eight sheep, which were discovered dead, each with three puncture wounds in the chest area and completely drained of blood.

The most common description of chupacabras is a reptile-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. It stands 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high. It is also said to look like a strange breed of wild dog.

There were once a report on CNN about an unidentified dead animal. Locals said that it might be the chupacabra that they are waiting to see. But a taxidermist expressed his belief that this maybe a genetically mutated coyote.

Do you believe in it?

I'm not sure in all honesty it's not exactly unreasonable to suggest there are unidentified types of animals out there that we don't know about.

However I would be more likely to suggest maybe ritual killings some form of cult killings, I've seen this on TV before whole ranches were having to be shut down because of live stock being killed it put a lot of families out of business but the way they had been killed could be a wild animal but it seems more plausible to think that they were killed for there organs or blood for cult like rituals.

I've also seen it be suggested that this has something to do with UFOs and aliens in that people thought it was actually aliens that were doing this to the animals since there would be no noise what so ever when the animals were killed. It's even said that these aliens are taking organs and animal body parts to do biological experiments.

Doesn't sound to far fetched but I'm not sure if it's likely who knows? All I know is I wouldn't want to come across it what ever it is if it can do that to an animal what can it do to me ?
