Chupacabra

One of the most well-known cryptids in the world is El Chupacabra. It has attracted many people's attention and continues to intrigue those who are determined to establish its veracity, much like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

Chupacabra, which is Spanish for "goatsucker," is a mythical creature that is said to survive by sucking goats' blood. So it resembles a shadowy vampire in certain ways. Over the years, numerous people have reported seeing the creature, and at least one politician from Puerto Rico formed a posse to hunt it down.

The chupacabra, or at least a baby one, was allegedly captured in 2014, according to a Texas couple. They captured the animal after discovering it in a tree on their property and placing it in the cage. While it is true that something was captured, at least one game warden afterward declared that the animal was more likely a raccoon with a bad case of mange than the fabled bloodsucker.
