**Alright, listen up. I ain’t one of them egghead professors sittin’ in their ivory towers, but I’ve heard enough from folks who’ve seen somethin’ strange to know these critters are out there. The Chupacabra, now that’s a mouthful, huh? It’s been reported mostly in the Caribbean islands and down south, prolly ’cause it likes the warm, wet weather. People usually spot it at night, when it’s prowlin’ around farms and rural areas, lookin’ for an easy meal.** **Now, descriptions vary some, but most folks say it’s a small fella, about yea high (holdin’ my hand ’round 3 feet), with scales or spines runnin’ down its back. It’s got a face full of teeth, like fangs, and eyes that glow in the dark – at least, that’s what some people claim. I’ve heard tell it can move real fast, too, dartin’ across fields quicker’n you can say “Chupacabra”.** **Behavior-wise, it’s a bit of a bloodsucker, pardon my language. Farmers report findin’ their chickens and other livestock drained dry, with nothin’ but bite marks left behind. Some folks’ve even said they hear it screamin’, like a high-pitched shriek that’ll send the hairs on yer neck standin’. Now, experts’ll tell ya it’s prolly just dogs or coyotes gone bad, but those critters ain’t got no reason to leave your chickens lookin’ like they’ve been sucked dry.** **As for habitat, well, I reckon it likes places with plenty of water around. Swamps, marshes, that sort of thing. It’s like workin’ in the hot sun all day – you need somethin’ to cool ya off, right? Same goes for these critters, they gotta have their watering hole.**
