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 someone (I think it was Tim) 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 as of mid June, subbed by the lovely Lizzy C, scourge of improper syntax.

The CFZ bloggo is updated twice daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us..

Hugh Newman, of the Butterfly Farm in Kent, whose name has come up in these pages on a number of occasions....
