The Chupacabra is a legendary creature that’s translated into “goat sucker.” The most common description of the chupacabra is that of a reptile-like creature, said to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. It is said to be approximately 3 to 4 feet tall, and hops in a fashion similar to that of a kangaroo.

In 1975, there was a series of livestock killings in the small town of Moca, Puerto Rico. Initially, it was suspected that the killings were committed by a cult. Later more killings were reported around the island, and many farms reported loss of animal life. Each of the animals was reported to have had its body bled dry, with what seemed to be bite marks.

In August of 1995, an eyewitness named Madelyne Tolentino reported seeing the creature in the Puerto Rican town of Canovanas, where 150 farm animals and pets were reportedly killed. Shortly after the first reported incidents in Puerto Rico, other deaths of animals were reported in other countries, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, and the United States.
