Legend Or Real? San Antonio Zoo Unveils New Chupacabra Exhibit

The San Antonio Zoo is introducing a new exhibit of an elusive animal that only some claim to have ever seen.

On Thursday, the zoo announced its new Chupacabra exhibit in an efforts to get the patrons' imaginations running wild.

The Chupacabra, which translates to "goat sucker", is an urban legend and is widely known for attacking and drinking the blood of livestock and goats.

Tim Morrow, President and CEO of the San Antonio Zoo commented on the reasoning behind creating an exhibit for a creature that is often referred to as "the southern equivalent of the Sasquatch."

"We're excited to educate the public and our visitors about the elusive and legendary Chupacabra. This new one-of-a kind habitat is sure to spark both the imagination of what wildlife exists that we haven't yet discovered and the desire to conserve species, both known and unknown," he stated.

To celebrate the opening of the exhibit, the zoo is offering a special Chupacabra burger and drink called "The Goat Sucker" that will feature Chupacabra teeth on it and will "give patrons a taste of what it's like to be the legendary creature."

The exhibit will be located near the bat exhibit.
