I wrote an entire blog about this. Chupacabras, not Chupacabra. See “Chupawhat?”.

Mystery_man, you have the right idea and the correct meaning, but you are murdering my language…

Chupacabras, Chupa means to suck and Cabras are goats. Sometimes I have seen it addressed as El Chupacabra (meaning only one of the “Chupas”) but the correct name would be Chupacabras, because upon discovery it was not one goat, but many, that had been mutilated.

But hey! Kudos for giving it the good ol’ try…

Yes, it is proper to call it El Chupacabras. There was an article on this blog awhile back explaining why. Because it means “to suck” as a verb and in Spanish that would be Chupa cabraS. So it is literally the one that sucks goats. Chupa= goat, cabras=to suck in the correct conjugation for a third person. I’m pretty sure that was the explanation given, if my memory serves.

just a quick one…is it proper to call it El Chupacabras? does that imply more the one creature? that would Los chupacabras…and isnt it a femine form? so how about La Chupacabra? just curious.

A possible EL CHUPACABRAS encounter, once they drain their prey they leave at high speed they are clever and smart they are very elusive. I have read much material on these creaturs.

The illustration is a generic one of Chupacabras. I like it as it shows a supposedly human-startled creature with animals it possibly has killed (a moment that is often not illustrated in the Chupacabra sketches). It is merely added to enhance an otherwise short sighting report. The two are not necessarily related.

A typical Chupa tale. They vary so much in description but still contain common elements. How does the drawing above fit in? It seems quite a fantastic stretch from the description given.

Sounds like a Chupacabra to me. Maybe with some adaptions.
