Our next stop is to the El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico. There have been reports of a top secret laboratory existing in the rainforest. There have also been Chupacabra sightings in this area! There is reportedly an El Yunque Chuapabra which has the lower body of a kangaroo and the upper body of a primate with crab claws. There are many different descriptions of the Chupacabra, but I think the kangaroo legs sound the most fun, don't you!
El Chupacabra's name is derived from the Spanish words chupar which means to suck and cabra which means goat. Some people stipulate that the creature is vampire in nature. These creatures were first sighted in 1995 when people began to blame them for the occurrence of many uneaten, blood-drained corpses of goats and sheep. Sheesh, this guy is NOT as nice as Bigfoot was. Reports of this cryptid have described a kangaroo-like reptilian creature that stood upright.
Other types of Chupacabra have been seen. They typically describe the Chupacabra walking on four legs and generally canine in appearance. There have been actual photographs of a Chupacabra, but they were identified as coyotes, dogs or canine hybrids. I guarantee those are not real Chupacabras due to DNA evidence my friend actually collected! The reason these canine hybrids looked so scary was because of their mange rendering them hairless. Here's a timeline of sightings of the alleged cryptid: El Chupacabra. The continuous reports of Chupacabras killing and draining the blood of livestock never stopped. People continued to believe in this cryptid, I mean... what other creature could drain the blood of an animal from one spot on their necks? That's what we are here for. To find out.
Alright, we are approaching this journey a bit differently than the Bigfoot trip. Let's meet up with some of the people running the, wink wink, top secret laboratory in the forest. I know I said wink out loud, I don't know how to wink. Just... leave it. Alright, here we are. Grab some equipment! The hope is to capture the Chupacabra to help the local farms! They know we are coming, and are giving us an ATV to take through the area. We need to make sure we survey the land beforehand and stay safe. This creature could be malicious and has a history of sucking blood from lifestock. OH hi there! This is Claudia. She is our resident forest expert! Claudia, this is my new friend, and travel companion! They're very excited to come along for the ride... right?
Hi, yes. I am Claudia. I've been tracking the Chupacabra for years, and taking note of the reported sightings and surveying the area for the US government! You see, we run a lab down here in Puerto Rico where we DNA test the alleged Chupacabra sightings. So far the majority of the DNA matches to that of a canine specimen. We just don't understand why these canine creatures would be targeting livestock in the way that they are. Especially with the peculiar drainage of their blood from one bite mark in the neck.
Now we head over to the last known sighting of the Chupacabra. This is where over 100 dead animals were found, by local farmers, drained of their blood. Unfortunately, we have not been able to track down what is doing this and how. We are going to try and lure the creature out with some goats and sheet, that are waiting for us over at the site. Don't worry! We won't let it attack, not this time. We still need to bait it in order to find what has been attacking these goats and sheep!

Alright, now that we have our goats out and about we can set up the trap for the Chupacabra! Do you think 10 will work? I think that's perfect! Wait until sundown, and stand guard. I'll be up in the tree. No reason, I like it up there. Claudia will keep watch of the goats to make sure that they are safe. Your job is to take the pictures. You better not fall asleep this time. I won't let you live it down haha. Did I tell you about that, Claudia? They fell asleep on Bigfoot! I'm serious haha, amateur right? Anyway, let's get our setup together and catch a Chupacabra!
Do you hear that? What is it? That howling noise. Alright, Claudia, you keep a tight grip on those goats. You, get the camera ready. I have the net up in the tree. Oh my gosh. Wait. That's just a little guy! Awwww guys, look at him! He's just a little sick dog limping around. Hey, what's your name, friend? Claudia can you help me muzzle him just in case he's foaming at the mouth! Oh, you're not a scary monster at all are you? No, no you are NOT! OH! That's it, we're keeping him. I'll take him to the vet tomorrow and he will join us on our journey. Little Chupacabra! Who's a good dog!

Well, what a fun journey! We made friends along the way and everything! Maybe we didn't find a real life Chupacabra, but we've got this lovely new tiny Chupacabra of our own! We've got one more stop before I drop you off. Don't worry, I won't drive us into the water. We're taking the ferry back! Do you know where we're going? You guessed it! New Jersey. Buckle up, this is going to be a long ride.
