The Chupacabra, a notorious inhabitant of the Americas, seems to have spontaneously appeared in the 1990s in Puerto Rico, gaining notoriety for its unusual dietary habits, feasting almost exclusively on the blood of domestic livestock and wild mammals. This efficiency in exsanguination, sparing not a drop, christened it the "goat-sucker."
Resembling a gaunt canine, this shy nocturnal predator leaves behind desiccated carcasses, a testament to its precision, yet oddly abstains from consuming the flesh. While there's no record of aggression towards humans, cautionary tales suggest keeping them leashed and muzzled if you are attempting domestication.
