The Chupacabra is a very famous cryptide that originated in Puerto Rico. But it has also been rumored that it lives in other parts of the America's and in European nations as far as Russia. It's name means goat sucker in spanish because it was known to drink the blood of livestock and especially goats.
The appearence of a Chupacabra is describred as a reptile-like creature, with leatherly or scaly greenish-darkish skin and a sharp spin running down it's back. It is said to be 3 to 5 feet tall and hope like a kangaroo. But many scientists believe the Chupacabra is a strange breed of a dog that dosent have normal domestic dog features.
The original story takes place in the year of 1955 in March. In this incident 8 sheep were found dead with punctures in their chests and completley drained of blood. Also later that year a witness named Madelyn Tolentino suposedly saw the creature in the Puerta Rican town of Canovanas and 150 animals were said to be killed in this town.
Related Legends; A popular legend in New Orleans talks about animals that are described as chupacabras living on a road called grunch. The Peuchen of Chile also share similarities in their supposed habits but instead of them being like dogs they are described as winged snakes. People believe this legend originated from the vampire bat.
Also people believe the Chupacabra is a US military creation. It would be used to reduce the size of an enemys food supply because these animals are known to drink the blood out of their prey. Another theory is that it was a result of experiments with recovered alien DNA and was a result of genetic engineering that was released into the wild on good intentions.
The last theory some people believe that Aliens were drinking the blood of the reportedly missing animals around the areas, where Chupacabras were spotted.
My idea is that the Chupacabra is a bunch of nonesense for a couple reasons. A there are two different discriptions of the cryptide. One is a dog and the other is a bat like creature. B it is said to drink blood only. The only thing I know that can survive off of blood is a mosquito not a predator. Also there are just too many eye witness reports that claim different things about this animal. (How it acts and looks) If anything a Chupacabra might have lived a while ago because of a genetic mutation in a dog, kangaroo, or racoon but I don't believe that we live amongst and Chupacabras in our present day.
I like how you describe the legends of the creature and how it became a legend before giving your thoughts and reasons for them. I like how you added interesting photos to go with your statements. However, I think you should work on your formatting. The picture is bigger than the blog and some of what you wrote is not align correctly. This is just a suggestion, but I like your post none the less. :)
