Stories of the *****-sucking creature began circulating in Puerto Rico 15 years ago and since then tales of the havoc it causes have swept from Chile through Mexico and into southern U.S. states.

Mark Cothren shot the ****** as it walked into his front yard because he did not recognise it.
He told Wave3.com: 'I was like "every ****** has hair, especially this time of year!".
'What puzzled me is how something like that could survive through a winter with no hair.
'Everybody is getting very curious, you know. The phone is ringing off the hook. It's kind of a mystery right now.'
The ****** was the size of a house cat, but some people have speculated it could even be a legendary chupacabra.
The chupacabra - also known as the 'goat sucker' - is believed to **** goats and suck their *****.
People have claimed to have seen it in South America, Mexico, Puerto Rico and even Texas and Oklahoma.
Sam Clites, from Louisville ***, said he would have to see the ****** in person to determine what species it was. He said he thought it was a raccoon or dog.
'It's hard to just what an ****** is from just a photograph. This is an ****** that's native to our area, most likely that is suffering from some type of disease,' he added.
He added that many ******* with severe disease lost fur and could appear unrecognisable as a result.
Mr Cothren said he was keeping the ****** so he could hand it over to the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources for analysis.

THE CHUPACABRA LEGEND
The word comes from two Spanish words - 'chupar', to suck, and 'cabra', goat.
Popular legend uses the phrase to describe unknown ******* that ****** livestock, usually goats, and allegedly ***** the ******'s *****.
The first alleged sighting was in 1995 in Puerto Rico, but reports have been made from as far north as Maine, U.S., to the south of Chile.
Scientists this year speculated that the creatures could be coyotes infected by parasites after one ****** was discovered in July following a fatal ****** on livestock.
In 1995, eight sheep were found dead in Puerto Rico with near identical puncture wounds to the chest and completely drained of ***** which spawned the legend of the chupacabra in Latin America.
Months later, the creature was allegedly spotted in Canóvanas, where as many as 150 ******* had been ******.
Since then there have been attacks allegedly carried about the legendary creature across South and Central America, and even into New Mexico and Texas.
Descriptions of the chupacabra vary from reptilian with spikes or quills on its back to hairless dogs with fangs and claws.
