Perhaps stemming from the current vampire mania the Chupacabra is a legendary creature that roams latin america feeding on the blood of lifestock, the name translates from Spanish to literally mean goat sucker. There have been 'reported' sighting also in USA and as far as Russia. While I don't for a second believe such a creature exists I do I like the concept of contemporary myths like these, this one I had only heard of recently.
The myth appears to have started in Puerto Rico in mid 90's where numerous lifestock were said to be found dead and drained of blood. The Chupacabraand is most often described as having scales or spikes on its back and hops around like a kangaroo and when alarmed gives of a sulphuric stench !
