In the early 1990s a mysterious new creature burst onto the cryptid scene, first terrorizing Puerto Rico then the Southwestern US. The menace attacked and killed animals and livestock with vampiric ferocity, earning itself the name “Chupacabra”. Witnesses claimed it looked like an alien mixed with a kangaroo, with leopard spots, chicken hands, wolf feet, and dinosaur spikes. Could this monster be real? Or was the Chupacabra merely a goat-eating figment of our worst imagination?
