Chupacabra Definition and History.
Chupacabra, plural in Spanish chupacabras (/ tʃupa'kabɾas / meaning "goat sucker") is a fantastic creature with blue eyes, two holes for the nostrils, a mouth with fangs protruding up and down and would be hairless. It would have two rounded markings on the back of the rump, on both sides of the tail and looks like some [Who?] To a bat or to the alleged extraterrestrial Roswell Affair.
Chupacabra is part of popular culture throughout Latin America, including Mexico and the island of Puerto Rico. The animal would feed by sucking the blood of farm animals, such as goats or cows, by making perfectly circular holes in the neck to the cerebellum, killing the animal causing no suffering.
Etymology
The creature is known as chupacabras or chupacabra across America, this being probably the original name and last version of the term. The name may be preceded by a male form "el chupacabras" ("the goat sucker" in Spanish) and "o chupacabra" in Portuguese.
Historical
The term chupacabras (literally "goat sucker") is supposedly coined by a Puerto Rican TV personality, Silverio Pérez who uses this name as a joke, but the word is also used in 1990 in Michael Crichton's novel, Jurassic Park, which appears before the legend.
The legend of Chupacabras begins around 1992, when Puerto Rican newspapers El Vocero and El Nuevo Dia begin to report the death of several types of animals, such as birds, horses and, as the name of the creature indicates, goats. At this time, the Chupacabra is known as "El Vampiro de Moca" since the first victims are found in the small town of Moca. At the very beginning, members of a satanic cult are believed to have committed these killings at random, but then killings spread around the island, and several farms report the loss of animal lives. The carcasses all have one thing in common: each animal found has a hole in the neck and has emptied a large part of its blood - sometimes also some of its internal organs.
According to testimony, the creature was first seen in the early 1990s, injuring animals of different species.
Shortly after the animal deaths in Puerto Rico, other carcasses are found in other countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Portugal, in Peru, Brazil, the United States and, especially, Mexico. In Puerto Rico and Mexico City, chupacabras becomes an urban legend. Many testimonials are reported in the southern states of the United States as Texas.
In 1997, an explosion of cases of chupacabras attacks occurred in Brazil, and were reported in Brazilian newspapers. One of the testimonies came from a police officer, who claimed to have felt nauseated when he saw a dog - like a chupacabra - in a tree. There are several clichés, all apparently faked. (1.)
In October 2004, two animals that looked a lot like the Elmendorf creature were seen in the same area. The first was dead, and the second was spotted by a local zoologist who had been called to identify the dead animal while traveling to the place where the first was found. The specimens were studied by Texas biologists; they were considered to belong to the canine genus, of an indeterminate species with skin problems and facial malformations. In Martinique a similar legend is attributed to the "lentikri", an evil beast sucking the blood of animals at night.
Chupacabras is considered by Mexicans as the product of collective hysteria, while others [Who?] Think it is a poor explanation for animal deaths resulting from attacks of unknown origin (2.)
An appearance in the city of Varginha (Brazil) is sometimes attributed to chupacabras, but the phenomenon is often attributed to extraterrestrials. In fact, some people think that Chupacabras would come from another planet.( 3.)
Appearance
Some South American natives believe in the "man-mosquito", a mythical creature belonging to their folklore, prior to the appearance of modern chupacabras. The man-mosquito sucks the blood of animals with its long nose, like a big mosquito.
cryptozoology
A scientific hypothesis to explain the phenomenon "Chupacabras" would be attributable to canidae victims of acute form scabies (4.)(5.) Based on samples taken from a creature killed in Texas, no evidence of scabies was found by the scientists.
Benjamin Radford (6.) explains that the original observation of chupacabra is in fact based on the film Mutante. The description of the witness sticks with the description of the creature of this film that was released shortly before.

Literature :
In the series Les Cryptides by Alexandre Moix, the third volume "In pursuit of Chupacabra".
In The Hunter and his shadow George R. Martin, Gardner R. Dozois and Daniel Abraham, the settlers of Latin American origin of the planet São Paulo give the name of Chupacabra to a dangerous species of predator hunting in the jungle.
