| | | The El Chupacabra is a myth...legend... well it is something that originated in Puero Rico. The "Goat Sucker" as it is trasnlated into English is kinda like Big Foot or a Yeti on four legs that has a reputation for not being something you want to find alone in the woods. This thing allegedly sucks all the blood from its prey like a vampire and there are many differnt variations of what it may look like; anyway there have been "sightings in Europe, Texas, Tennesse, California, Washington, Puerto Rico, and parts of Mexico. Yet the most recent was in Longveiw, Texas a town less than 50 miles from my house so naturallly it is on the news and werent really sure waht they had found it had been hit just hard enough by a truck or car or something to just kill it on the side of the road and the guy that found it the next morning took pictures of it that didnt get into the web page so i went and found an internet site on the thing and found a picture of it and although nobody is just sure what it looks like i will show a few variations of it. If you know any thing about it please... share.

Umm..can you possibly attach some files for us to look at? Normal picture viewing doesn't work here anymore for past reasons.

Chupacabras exist. I killed one three months ago, in an epic battle for my sheep. And the monster insisted to tell me to drink some coffe and take a cold bath!
Uh... nevermind. It's an urban legend that is also very largely distributed on south america, but dont worry, seems that the fox and some smaller animals may have the habit of drinking the blood of animals if they cant, for some reason, open their leather skin.
Besides, if there is a Chupacabras around, you may be sure it wont atack humans. Chupacabras only atack animals and lonely animals according to the lore, only those who leave the group. So, if you're home alone, take care.

Well, thats my guess. I'm pretty skeptical about Chupacabras cause this has been a real big issue two years ago in Brazil till the news got used and used and used and dried and then died.

'Stabbed' by a scorpion? Like the scorpion is holding a knife? Or someone holding a scorpion and stabbing you with it? Or do you mean 'stung' by a scorpion? :P

I only met a chupacabra, once. It was the late 17th century, and I was hanging around Trinidad after the dullest part of my 3500-year-long vacation from active Babylonian godhood. I met up with a sweet young thing who turned out to be the Viceroy's daughter. I asked if black lace was the fashion in the area, and she told me that no, she had just had the great pleasure of seeing her annoying brother buried.
Evidently, he found annoying people too much fun to give up completely, because he came back that night and many following nights as a chupacabra. For a small fee, I agreed to get rid of him. We played cards, drank quite a bit, and I told him about my form of worship (that is, the religion that involves...worshipping...me.) Eventually, he decided to give it a try, and I moved him back a few thousand years to Babylon. Last I heard, he was incredibly happy, gambling and dating my vestal virgins.
The moral of this story is that vicious living can bring its own reward.

@Blake: Don't fear, the Chupacabra is a mythical creature just as Neo states, it belongs to cryptozoology. Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are not known by science. "Hidden" animals that may exist during to legend, folk lore and anecdotes, but have not been objectivly observed. Examples of creatures that belong to the crypozoology are Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, unicorns and the Chupacabra.
As with most legends, there is an explanation behind the seemingly "unexplained" phenomena that people observe. As far as I know, the Chupacabra legend started out with findings of dead goats in Puerto Rico. Veterinary examinations revealed nothing unusal with the dead goats, but due to some phenomena (I can explain in detail if someone is intersted) that can occur when carcasses are lying outside for a while, people started believing that the goats' bodies had been emptied of blood. That's how the "goat sucker" name was established.
Since then, the myth has spread to Mexico and souther US, and been picked up by UFO-conspiracy groups who claim the Chupacabra is the result of alien experiements, and by other conspiracy grouops who claim it is the result of mad Russian or Chinese scientists. In both groups, it is of course also believed that the goverment is withholding information from the people in order for panick not to spread etcetc the usual crap. Fake videos and pictures of Chupacabras have been released on internet.
I am not familiar with the recent reports that Neo refers to, but please post a link if you have any. I am sure that carcass of the dead animal will turn out to be a well known species.

Sorry i was kidding, i guess the part about goat sucked wasnt silly enough to be seen.I had other things on my mind at that time, heh. I have done reports on it in school though. Its always fun topic to research to see the new pictures of badly mangled creatures that got hit just hard enough by the car to not tell what it is...

Well, anyway, I did some reading on the recent Texas case and found some pictures on the net, and I am willing to bet it's a severly malnourished dog with sarcoptic mange or similar skin disease. It was reported that the animal had long claws and that it's teeth was in excellent condition despite the bad state of the skin, which makes it more likely it is a domestic and not a wild living creature. The poor dog-like animal also has an overbite, maybe this made feeding very difficult. If there are several animals in this condition found in the area, it may be a genetic disorder or even a breeder who mistreats the animals badly.
PS I also enjoy cryptozoology, it's amazing what the human mind can believe without evidence!
