CLICK here to see selected stories about Vampire Bats and other creatures The Chupacabra or "goat sucker" is a creature that is believed to suck the blood from goats and chickens in Puerto Rico. The students were interested in the creatures mythological lore. Since it has never been caught, yet many people have reported sittings of one. In 1994 their were many alleged reports of goats found through out Puerto Rico drained of all their blood. The drawing and writings of the Chupacabra were based on what the children imagined the creature to look like. |
