This deals with...?

Question

What I have heard to be a "Chupacabra." What is this, and is it real?

Answer 1

Chupacabra literally means goat-sucker in Spanish.
It was allegedly spotted in Costa Rica in 1994, but there have been reported sightings in different areas of South America since then.
It supposedly eats goats, dogs and small animals and it's description has ranged from the color gray to green, lizard-like but stands upright like a human... anywhere from 3-6ft tall... some reports say it walks, others say it flies, others say it hops.

Obviously, people are seeing something, but by these varied descriptions, who knows what it really is?

Answer 2

Chupacabra
The chupacabra (or chupacabras) is a cryptid said to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, Chile, Brazil and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities and Maine. The name translates literally from the Spanish as "goat-sucker". It comes from the creature's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Sightings began in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. Though some argue that the chupacabras may be real creatures, mainstream scientists and experts generally contend that the chupacabra is a legendary creature, or a type of urban legend. National Geographic did a report on the existance of Chupacabras. They found a supposed chupacabra skeleton on a local farm ground

Answer 3

El chupacabra means goat eater

It's basically a Spanish version of loup-garou (werewolf)

Answer 4

Hahaha! It's a myth... or hasn't been really proven. It's a night creature that sucks the blood from animals at night. Look it up!
