Of modern provenance, the chupacabra or “goat-sucker” first appeared in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s. Descriptions vary from a reptile-like creature with leathery or scaly skin and sharp backquills to a dog or panther with a forked tongue and large fangs. All agree that the chupacabra is about the size of a bear and does not appear to participate in social events like tea parties and ice cream socials.

Kosher? I’m pretty sure they don’t chew their cud and have cloven hooves. Even though they look a little too much like the famous “Montauk Monster” of a few years ago, we guess it might be suitable for Passover.
