Yeah, real helpful right? Basically, it's name translated from Spanish is "goat sucker".
More from Wikipedia:
"The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1995 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail."
Real helpful physical description too. Not. Here, I've included a picture to make up for the crappy word visual:
Gross, huh? I think this one's dead.
Anyways, as much as your dad tried to scare you about them, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Looks like they are really only after the succulent blood of the goat kind.
Oh hey look, I found this vid!
I love how they won't zoom in on the animal that the orange hat dude is standing by on live video but show a picture instead. Makes me skeptical about this whole finding a chupacabra thing. Plus, can you really trust a man who looks for golf balls for a living?
And on a completely unrelated note, here's a cool vid about a special Minnesota baby:
