WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! 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 subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/


As Jeff Lynne once said… oh wait, I’ve done that one already. Anyway, today along with the latest cryptozoology related stories from the CFZ daily news blog it’s music recommendation time. I thought it’d be a good idea to link you to the song on last fm too so the artist gets royalties and you can listen to it while reading the news stories, chomping your biscuits and drinking your tea. This weeks tune is from one of My favourite albums ‘Sparks Of An Ancient Light’ by Al Stewart and the song is ‘Elvis At The Wheel’: http://www.last.fm/music/Al+Stewart/_/Elvis+At+The+Wheel?autostart
Good isn’t it? Now for the news:

Rare vine in Hawaii put on endangered species list
Moricetown Bigfoot tracks continue sighting outbreak
Feathers fly over new dinosaur find
Scientists Find Almost Complete Skeletons Of 25 Young Bird-Like Dinosaurs In China's Gobi Desert
Complete dino skeleton offered at NY auction
New big cat sighting in Norfolk
Bigfoot researchers study Sand Mountain
And
Russia Bans Hunt for Young Harp Seals

Well done to the Russian people for getting the ban, that certainly gets my ‘seal’ of approval. Also, if I can be serious for a minute I’d like to bring peoples attention to that Hawaiian vine, the vine was one of the high profile species that was caught up in president George W. Bush’s attempts to destroy the American Endangered Species Act so it’s good to see that it’ll now get the protection it needs, lets hope its not too late.
