The chupacabra is a cryptid said to inhabit parts of the Latin America. 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 Portuguese and Spanish as "goat-sucker". It comes from the creature's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. The actual meaning of the word "chypacabra" is goat eater. 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.

A Puerto Rican myth. An urban legend!
El Chupacabra translates to Goat Sucker.

Actually it's a chupacabra. Literally it's a animal that sucks the blood from goats.. Kinda like the bigfoot myth. No one's ever seen the thing but dead animals have been "found". Mainly in the South border.

It's an urban legend about a creature who sucks all the blood (and sometimes organs) out of it's victims through a couple of wholes in the neck. translated, the name of the creature means goat sucker, because of it's choice in "food", but it also sucks blood out of cats, dogs, etc. But keep in mind, it is only an urban legend. probably. ;) hope that was helpful.
