Chupacabra

The Chupacabra (AKA goat sucker) is a legendary creature of the Americas, said to be like a small bear, heavy set and with a row of spines on its back. The name comes from the Spanish words chupra (suck) and cabra (goat).
The chupacabra is sometimes described as a lizard that hops like a kangaroo.
The chupacabra has been reported throughout North and South America, with a number of alleged sightings in Puerto Rico.
The chupacabra is a hunter. It is said to have red eyes with a hypnotic power, which it uses to immobilize prey. The chupacabra makes a hole in the animal's body through which it sucks the entire volume of blood, and sometimes organs as well.
According to some reports the chupacabra has survived being shot.
There have been suggestions that chupacabras are genetic mutations gone wrong.
Skeptics argue that there is no physical evidence supporting the existence of this creature, so it is more likely that sightings are misidentified animals.
