Chupacabras in Lore and pop Culture
The chupacabras (from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat," literally "goat sucker") is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. The first reported attacks occurred in March 1995 in Puerto Rico, and the most common description of chupacabras is reptilian with leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. It stands approximately 3 to 4 feet high and stands and hops like a kangaroo.[3]
