I've seen TV shows like National Geographic and Discovery Channel featuring this mysterious creature. Can't tell if it's real or not. If you search for the word
"chupacabra"
on google it will return about 3,960,000 results consisting of videos, images and description of the said creature.
The chupacabra ("goat sucker") is an animal said to be unknown to science and systemically killing animals in places like Puerto Rico, Miami, Nicaragua, Chile, and Mexico. The creature's name originated with the discovery of some dead goats in Puerto Rico with puncture wounds in their necks and their blood allegedly drained. According to UFO Magazine (March/April 1996) there have been more than 2,000 reported cases of animal mutilations in Puerto Rico attributed to the chupacabra.
According to Ben Radford, the chupacabra is modeled after the creature in the 1995 movie Species. The first eyewitness account of the creature was given by Madelyne Tolentino in a Puerto Rican newspaper. Radford interviewed Tolentino and asked her if her account could have been influenced by the alien/human hybrid creature in Species
. She had seen the movie in the weeks prior to making her description. The two images below can be used for comparison. Other reports in Puerto Rico and Latin America can be dismissed, says Radford, because they’re all based on Tolentino’s Hollywood-inspired monster.
