The Chupacabra is said to be very agile, and it is said to be able to run on all fours, but it is said to be able to stand on two legs when it needs to. A Chupacabra is usually reported to have attacked humans, livestock, and pets. People who are attacked by a Chupacabra are said to have been bitten on the face or neck, and their eyes are said to have been gouged out. Some people who were bitten have reported that they saw a “giant bat” or that they had a strange sensation in their throat.

Theories about what the Chupacabra is varied, including a reptile, an unknown species of bat, a giant lizard, or even a human with a goat’s head. Some even believe the Chupacabra could be a hoax.
