Urban Legends

My favorite urban legend would be the legend of the chupacabras, which means goat sucker in spanish. It is said that this animal, which has the appearance of a dog-like reptile, can be seen in North and Central America. It kills livestock and drinks their blood. I find this urban legend interesting because although many people from different countries claim to have seen the chupacabras, there is no solid evidence proving its existence. If there is such a creature, then why hasn't there been any carcasses or excrement found from them?

  1. Aren't your questions similar to that of those looking for big foot or the Yeti? Do you believe it possible that it is describing an ancient beast form withing the last 100,000 years that had it's story passed down and through the ages past of when it went extinct? There is evidence of a giant, and I mean GIANT, ape fossils found in china that would be similar to the Yeti/Bigfoot legends.

  2. I think this is a pretty cool legend, of course i wouldnt want to run into one of these creatures lol. But i do wonder if the stories are true just like bigfoot. But if they can find and proof that dinos exsist then i think could mean that any creature that being "sighted" can be true as well.
