Throughout North and South America, thousands of people have witnessed chupacabras, or goat suckers, strange creatures that mutilate and drain the blood of farm animals. Source: The Puerto Rican students organization at Princeton University. Chupacabras are real.
Are chupacabras of extraterrestrial origin? Or are they some sort of natural species that has yet to be catalogued by taxonomists?
Here is a drawing of an alleged chupacabras:
A five-year investigation by Benjamin Radford, documented in his 2011 book Tracking the Chupacabra, concluded that the description given by the original eyewitness in Puerto Rico, Madelyne Tolentino, was based on the creature Sil in the 1995 science-fiction horror film Species. The alien creature Sil is nearly identical to Tolentino's chupacabra eyewitness account and she had seen the movie before her report: "It was a creature that looked like the chupacabra, with spines on its back and all... The resemblance to the chupacabra was really impressive", Tolentino reported. Radford revealed that Tolentino "believed that the creatures and events she saw in Species were happening in reality in Puerto Rico at the time"
The Chupacabra is extraterrestrial only in the sense that the first reporter imagined it based on a science fiction movie.
In late October 2010, University of Michigan biologist Barry O'Connor concluded that all the chupacabra reports in the United States were simply coyotes infected with the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei, whose symptoms would explain most of the features of the chupacabra: they would be left with little fur, thickened skin, and a rank odor.
In conclusion
According to biologists and wildlife management officials, the chupacabra is an urban legend.
So since they don't exist, they don't have a real origin, just in the minds of the people who believe in them.
