If you ever find yourself wondering any of these questions, then look no further!
What is the Chupacabra?
Translate from Spanish, it means (chupar) 'to suck' and (cabra) 'goat'. So, it literally means, 'goat-sucker'.
It is a cryptid (a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested, but unrecognized and highly unlikely to be real), said to live somewhere in the Americas.

| The supposed appearance |
It is a reptile-like creature, said to be a weird greenish-gray color, and have sharp spines running down its back.
It is about 3 to 4 feet high (when standing) and jumps similar to that of a kangaroo.
It has a dog-like nose, forked tongue, and large fangs.
It hisses and screeches when alarmed, and its eyes appear to glow red when screeching, causing witnesses to experience nausea.
Others say that the Chupacabra is some sort of dog-reptile breed.
It has been reported that the bite marks it leaves are in the shape of an upside-down triangle, or one or two holes.
Where can I find the Chupacabra?
Most, if not all sightings, have been in either of the two Americas.
Here are the most of the areas in which it has been sighted:
-Puerto Rico (March 1995) - First Report
-San Antonia, Texas (July 2004)
-Central Russia (April 2006)
-Turner, Maine (Mid-August 2006)
-Boyaca, Colombia (May 2007)
-Cuero, Texas (August 2007)
-Philippines; province of Capiz (January 11, 2008)
-Cuero, Texas (August 8, 2008)
-Blanco, Texas (September 2009)
-Lake Jackson, Texas (July 4, 2011) - Most Recent Report
On December 8, 2010, in Nelson County, Kentucky, Mark Cothren killed a creature he did not recognize. He said it had large ears, whiskers, and a long tail.
No scientists have ever confirmed that any of the animals found that were supposedly the Chupacabra, were actually the real thing.
Thanks to Wikipedia for most of the information on the Chupacabra.
