Hello and welcome to my new series called Fact or Fiction. In this series of articles I will present a creature or "monster" that has made the news as long as stirred up confusion on whether or not it is true. To start of the series, I chose to research a popular Latin American creature, El Chupacabra, (roughly translated in English to 'goat sucker'.) El Chupacabra is said to have killed many farm animals in the most bizarre way possible: by sucking the animals' blood dry.
There are many speculations as to what this creature is, and from the few claims at spotting El Chupacabra, it is said to be about three or four feet tall, have spikes running down its spinal cord, have two sharp fangs, bulging red eyes, and a thirst for blood. Many people who believe in this creature think that it is a cross of a dog and a vampire. Others believe it is some horrifying alien crossbreed. Some even believe the beast has black wings that are capable of flying, which connects it to an ancient bird. Either way, there are lots of different ideas on what this monster is and what its physical appearance is.
