"The Chupacabra"

"The Chupacabra" is a legendary creature from Latin American folklore, often described as a hairless, canine-like predator with spikes or quills along its back. It is best known for attacking livestock, especially goats, and consuming their blood—hence its name, meaning "goat-sucker" in Spanish. Reports of sightings began in Puerto Rico in the 1990s, but similar creatures have been reported in various regions. While some believe it to be an unknown animal or an alien, most explanations suggest it may be a misidentified wild animal, such as a dog with mange or a coyote, rather than a supernatural entity.
