Being Hispanic has exposed me to a lot of information and mention of El Chupacabra. I remember when this creature began receiving news and documentary exposure. I was obsessed and fascinated by what I read and saw.

It was actually a surprise to see how much El Chupacabra had become part of pop culture in Puerto Rico. I visited my Grandfather there one year and returned with several El Chupacabra shirts. It is now part of pop culture in the U.S. and several other countries as well.

I’m still completely intrigued by the “Goat Sucker” and I’m often amused by it’s various visual representations. Sometimes it was drawn as a lizard and sometimes as an alien. Does El Chupacabra really exist? Is there really some vampiric animal out there that sucks the blood out of the neck of it’s prey? Till now there was no proof of the elusive creature.

Phylis Canion from Cuero, Texas claims to have found interesting roadkill which she believes is actually El Chupacabra. I’d retell the story but it’s 4 O’clock in the morning and much easier to just post a link for your reading pleasure. So… Has a Mythical Beast Turned Up in Texas?

The following video is just more proof of El Chupacabra in pop-culture.. it’s also a pretty funny clip so be sure to watch the whole thing.
