<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chupacabra, in popular Latin American legend, is a monster that attacks animals and sucks their blood. The name is derived from the Spanish words chupar ("suck") and cabra ("goat"). </h1>
Chupacabra has only recently joined the ranks of vampire animals. The "chupacabras" were first reported in Puerto Rico in 1995, and they were accused of attacking goats, sheep and other domestic animals, allegedly leaving uneaten corpses and drained blood. So the story of the mysterious vampire monster broke out in Mexico, the southwestern United States, and even China.
Early reports described an upright creature that resembled a giant reptile kangaroo and huge red eyes. No actual specimens have been found, and skeptics believe that the "eyewitness" may have been influenced by the Hollywood sci-fi horror film Species (1995), which has a similar-looking monster. But other eyewitness reports are spread across the Americas, even as far north as the United States.

Different types of Zorbecabra have also been reported in many of the same places. These small hills are smaller and four feet tall. They are usually dogs in appearance but hairless, and actual specimens have been made, but biologists have identified them as coyotes, dogs, or hybrid dogs. The strange appearance of these animals is caused by hair loss caused by scabies (mite infection).

Some believe that the reason this dog attacks livestock is that the disease weakens their bodies and makes them unable to reach wild prey.
Whether Chupacabra is a disease-ridden dog or an undiscovered species, it can't stop it from integrating into our pop culture. And in low-budget movies, both creatures play the role of monsters.
