The Chupacabra, Fact or Fiction?

The Chupacabra, is it fact or fiction?

The Chupacabra or "Goat Sucker" is a supernatural species that is found scattered across the USA and Southern America. It is said that the first sighting was in Puerto Rico in 1995, where its distinctive killing technique and the draining goats blood was seen in numbers. Since this first sighting, many more have been seen, filmed and shot (photo above), as far north as Maine and as far south as Chile, what is this strange creature?

The morphology of the Chupacabra varies depending on the sighting, it is said to be the size of a small bear with a row of spines from the nape of the neck to the base of the tail, personally I believe these to be vertebrae that are more obvious than they are in other species. It is said to have a sulphuric smell and often the vivid blue eyes as seen above. They have been seen to jump up to 20 meters, with a canine like face, forked tongue and vampire-esque fanged teeth. Some people see the Chupacabra as a reptile like creature, others as a canine; the sightings are so varied it is difficult to pinpoint a certain description for the creature. In South America it is usual for the Chupacabra to be reptilian, but heading into North America the sightings are more canine.

These could be different species, as many unusual canine like creatures are often classed as the Chupacabra.

Many different ideas about the origin of the Chupacabra have been put forward, a mange ridden dog, or a cross breed between a coyote and a wolf, maybe there is something far more supernatural about this creature...who knows...
