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 C, 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...

LETTER FROM BRAZIL

Hello there;

I found your page on Google when I did a search for dolphins and came across the following blog posting:

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/2009/05/dolphins-maintain-round-clock-visual.html


The purpose of my email is to request a blog link exchange between my blog and your blog. My blog has a theme of moments from Brazil, with an emphasis on animals of Brazil.

I have an entry on illegal dolphin hunting in Brazil, which is at this URL:

My latest entry is about anacondas from Brazil, and is at this URL:

http://momentsfrombrazil.blogspot.com/2009/05/pythons-and-anacondas.html

The main blog page is at:

http://momentsfrombrazil.blogspot.com

Part of my interest in anacondas of Brazil (called Sucuri in Brazilian Portuguese) is because of having read about Percy Fawcett, and the distinct possibility that he was not in error when he said he shot an anaconda of 62 feet in length, given that Arthur C. Clarke reported on the Belgian soldier who took pictures of a snake in Congo determined to be at least 40 feet in length. Both the Belgian soldier and Percy Fawcett were men of the military, and used to estimating lengths. In any case, when Percy Fawcett was first sent to South America, he was sent to chart the territory, and so he must have been accustomed to measuring things all day.

In a link exchange, you would have a link to my blog, and I would have a link to your blog.

I trust that this is possible. I will be happy to hear back from you.

Sincerely
Samuel.
