For Max, and all the other readers of his age, who only know The Rolling Stones as a mildly embarrasing cabaret act, not dangerous, sexy and the epitome of rock and roll. And yes, there's even an on-topic reference; the butterflies released just after Jagger's tribute to the recently dead Brian Jones, (see bottom clip) were bred by none other than my hero L. Hugh Newman, of the Butterfly Farm in Kent, whose name has come up in these pages on a number of occasions....
The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix. It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and as of mid June, subbed by the lovely Lizzy C, scourge of improper syntax.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/Sunday brings with it the most exciting of my weekend features, the chance to witness history in the making, it’s Stereo-graphic Sunday! Red and cyan 3D glasses at the ready folks, because not only did I post the first 3D photograph of a mermaid (the CFZ’s feegee mermaid crafted by the talented Mr Friswell) but this week it’s another 3D first, a pilot whale skull.
You’ll notice that the skull is also upside down. The reason for this is because many people have seen upside down whale skulls and assumed they belonged to hitherto unknown sea monsters. Most recently a physics professor, who should have known better, sent off a press release about his discovery of a sea monster skull on display in a Mexican museum.
And now, the news:
Monster snake slithering in Rumford canal
Brazil's huge wetland under threat
'Bee sting honey' for arthritis
All creatures great and small
Cat appears on Question Time
Honeybee mobs overpower hornets
Kleptomaniacs of the skies
No safe haven for rarest antelope
How do you make an antelope?
Tell her that her father intends to stop the wedding.
SCOTT CORRALES: No Rational Explanation" Found for Cattle Mutes
I have always been a great admirer of the work of Scott Corrales, and have decided that when I receive an English Language version of one of his South American reports, that I will repost it, so it reaches as wide an audience as possible. I recommend that you check out his three books which are available from Amazon HERE

Argentina: "No Rational Explanation" Found for Cattle Mutes**
The police found four cows whose eyes, uteruses and tongues had been removed. The animals were found dead in the rural area of Nogoyá. The absence of water in a nearby lagoon also drew their attention. Residents of the rural area known as Crucesita Tercera, in the Department of Nogoyá, are shaken by the strange death of four cows in the interior of two fields and the unforeseen draining of a lagoon. Personnel of the Office of Cattle Theft and the Nogoyá Police
ascertained that the cows had succumbed to a mysterious mutilation, but also noted that a nearby lagoon, which a day earlier had been full of water, was now empty.
Once more, fantasy, myth and mystery began to weave themselves over the deaths of these animals. Apparitions of the so-called "Chupacabras" and even a UFO sighting are now part of the comments being made in the heart of the province.
The cows found by police officers were missing their reproductive organs, tongues and eyes. For this reason, the veterinarian attached to the Office of Cattle Theft, a part of the Nogoyá Police force, stated that there is no rational explanation for the animals' deaths and much less for their strange mutilations.
The dead bovines, according to police, were the property of Gustavo Cabañas, an employee of the Banco de Entre Rios, Nogoyá branch. The man owned the field and the herd of cows and calves within it. A few days later, Cabañas had surveyed the farm and found that everything was in good order. Even the volume of water of nearby lagoon presented a generous quantity of the vital fluid, considering the drought. But for reasons that remain unclear, the lagoon dried up in a
few hours, forcing the field's owner to transfer the animals. He found the dead animals as he performed the transfer.
Nogoyá's cattle rustling authorities and agents of the Sheriff's office confirmed their investigation and the mysteries that surround it. The events cannot be explained scientifically.
Crucesita Tercera is some 50 kilometers from the departmental capital. Due to this event, the Cattle Theft officers spoke to local residents, who gave scant details on elements that could help explain the deaths of these animals. The subject expanded yesterday when it was learned that Police found another mutilated bovine in an adjacent field. The carcass displayed the same characteristics: it was missing both eyes, its tongue and uterus. The cow belonged to a woman surnamed Sanchez and the incident was discovered only a short distance from the Sheriff's office.
The Cattle Theft office noted that they had reported the mutilations on the three cows found over the weekend, but that the bones near the mutilated parts were clean, as if death had occurred some time ago, and not a matter of days, either. Furthermore, surgical incisions were
confirmed, some of them without scarring or blood on the grass of the animals' hides.
Three years earlier, a pair of bovines was found lifeless and mutilated only a short distance from this last discovery. Veterinarian Esteban Puntín, who investigated the events a while ago
explained, "while he is aware of these last cases from remarks, he believes that [all of this] is the result of natural action." Puntín noted:"due to uncontrolled deforestation, predators began looking for food in smaller and cleaner fields. With the onset of cold weather and the drought, there is very little grass. Therefore, animals are hungry. Bovines look for grass, and they may end up eating "yuyos" (brambles) which are poisonous, such as the Mio Mio. When the animal
dies, foxes, weasels, vultures and even mice report to the site, eating the softer parts of the carcass, which are generally the anus or vulva, the udders and the tongue. Carrion animals also eat the eyes. These animals are great feeders, and only stop at bones and harder tissue."
He added, "If there is no blood to be found, it is due to the cold weather, which dries up all manner of fluids."

RONAN COGHLAN: Werecats and Weredogs
Well, now that I've started this blogging business, I will be hard to stop. I've forgotten my Google password, so I can't add comments to others' blogs, but congratulations to Shosh. Now that she's a vet, I have these sundry symptoms which are beyond the power of human medicine to diagnose, but maybe they are animal symptoms and she can advise me what to do. I shall be sending her a set of bottled samples to analyse soon.I am devoting Thought at present to the Big Cat Problem. I feel there is an element present that most cryptozoologists have missed. Has the possibility that they are were-cats struck anyone? If so, they can be hunted down easily. For your own protection, procure a gun with silver bullets. Obtain a large can of Jellymeat Whiskas. Enlist the services of a were-dog. These may be obtained at www.fido.com. A large puma or black panther-sized sack completes the equipment. If the big cats are were-cats, all should be well. Just in case they're not, but are mysterious creatures impervious to dog and bullet, they may respond to your efforts with a certain ferocity. To be on the safe side, take out Funeral Insurance.
I am tired of Political Correctness. I have a diatribe against that to spew forth shortly, but not tonight. It is past my bedtime - eight o'clock. I adhere to a strict regimen, which involves sleeping for the greater portion of the time. If you're in bed, They can't get you. Not that I'm paranoid; but, if I keep my eyes tight shut, They can't tell I'm awake when They look through the window. I dare not draw the curtains - They would then know that I know they're there.
Go n-eiridh an mbothar libh,
Ronan.
CAPTION COMPETITION
It isn't very often that one sees all three CFZ male residents wearing suits and ties. So when we did, it was immortalised pictorially.The best caption for this remarkable photograph gets a prize that I haven't thought up yet....
WHAT GLEN, LIZZY AND JON DID NEXT
Here is the cover of Glen's remarkable new book.
