Chupacabra -- which means "goat sucker" -- got it's name from the first reports of mutilated goats. In September 1995 Madeleine Tolentino and other eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a creature "three or four feet tall, with skin like that of a dinosaur, it had bright eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and multicolored spikes down its head and back.' Other eyewitnesses have also said that it looks part bat, part kangaroo, and part alien Grey.
Another eyewitness sad "...it's height was about four feet tall with a large head, a lip-less mouth, fangs and lid-less red eyes... ...it's body was small and it had scrawny clawed arms and webbed bat wings and muscular hind legs that appeared to be for leaping."
The predatory habits of the Chupacabra have always been directed toward livestock such as chickens, rabbits, goats and other small animals. It kills its prey by draining all the animal's blood from its body, through a single hole. To date no humans have been killed by this creature even though many have attempted to trap the creature over the years.
The majority of the sightings have taken place in Puerto Rico, but it has also been seen in Florida, Mexico, New Mexico, and Texas.
