Introduction

The Chupacabra is a vampiric dog entity that has been seen primarily in Mexico, but has made appearances in other countries such as Puerto Rico, U.S, Mexico Central America, and South America. Its name, when directly translated, literally means “goatsucker” in Spanish. There have been many reported sightings of the chupacabra, and many of the descriptions vary widely. It has been described as an alien, a reptile, or even a demon. Most often though, it’s described as a dog-like creature that walks around on his hind legs, lacking fur. He has glowing red eyes and some people describe the chupacabra as having wings. He is said to have a spiney back that can change colors. The chupacabra can also run and jump unnaturally fast, and can fly or glide. It also has a peircing scream.

A Chupacabra's victim most common victim, the goat.

The name of the chupacabra comes from victims it takes. There have been reports of the chupacabra sucking the blood out of many farm animals, most predominantly goats and cattle. The victims most often have punture wounds on their bodies, usually on their neck, forehead, legs, and genital area. Sometimes the wounds are described as looking like surgical cuts, not like teeth marks, although in many Mexican cases there are two holes in the skin, which do in fact look like bite marks. Sometimes the brain or liver is missing from the body, and in unusual cases, slime is found around the dead bodies. Most of the victims are animals but several human attacks have been reported. There was an attack in Mexico reported in 1996, a woman was clawed on the back. The weird thing is that the craw marks resembled burn marks. There was another report by from a woman in Costa Rica who claims the creature grabbed her and tried to fly off with her, but she put up a fight and escaped.

Attacks in the U.S.

Near Miami Florida there were reports of domestic animals, goats, chickens, and ducks that were attacked and blamed on the chupacabra. A paw print was found at the scene of one of the attacks. Casts were made of itand examined. They found the print looked like from a large dog but had human nails rather than claws.Some people believe this beast has been around since the dinosaurs.
