A couple in south Texas say they've captured the infamous, mythical, voracious, goat-eating creature called "El Chupacabra."

According to a report by KAVU-TV, based in Victoria, Ratcliffe resident Jackie Stock said her husband, Arlen Parma, had spotted and then caught a strange-looking creature on their property Sunday night.

The family is not even the first in south Texas who claim making contact with the Chupacabra this year.

ABC News reported in February that another resident believed he had shot and killed a Chupacabra at his Victoria County ranch.

Legends about the Chupacabra abound, many going back in time decades, if not longer.

However, despite ongoing reports of sightings and complains of domestic animal killings by some sort of animals they appeared to suck their blood --- for which the Chupacabra is notorious --- there has never been any concrete evidence that the animal actually exists.

The creature is said to be hairless, with long claws and big teeth, which it uses when feeding on the blood of goats.

Sightings of the Chupacabra were first reported nearly 20 years ago in Puerto Rico and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile and outside the Americas in countries like Russia and the Philippines. Many of those reports been disregarded as uncorroborated or lacking evidence.

Most supposed sightings of the Chupacabra, according to multiple media reports, actually turn out to be hairless racoons or animals with a skin disease called mange.

Regardless, Stock, Parma and their family believe the creature with a ferocious growl they have caged in the back of their house is definitely not a raccoon. They said they're seeking out experts who can confirmation the creature's identity.

A five-year investigation by Benjamin Radford, an American author and self-proclaimed skeptic, asserted the description given by Madelyne Tolentino, the original eyewitness to the creature in Puerto Rico, was based on the monster Sil in the science-fiction horror film Species.
