Chupacabra

The chupacabra is a mythical creature reported in Latin America, reputed to attack livestock, especially goats, draining their blood. Descriptions vary, but it is often depicted as a creature with spines along its back, sharp claws, and glowing eyes. Sightings began in the 1990s and are generally considered to be based on folklore and sensational reports rather than verified evidence. Many supposed chupacabra sightings and carcasses have later been identified as coyotes or other animals affected by disease or environmental factors. Overall, it remains a legendary figure rooted in urban legends and local storytelling.
