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.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

Hhhhmmmm... I thought I'd seen that photo before: http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/2009/04/mark-burrows-goes-on-trail-of-big-cats.html
They must be using the same Photo Library as me!
Looking back at the original story filed in the Wakefield Express in 2000, and in the story carried by the Sun, the original photo of the Beast of Ossett was certified as genuine by Dr Andrew Kitchener from the Royal Museum, Edinburgh, and by an engineering researcher from Tokyo University who said: "We estimate it to be about 7-8ft long, 3ft high and to weigh about 280lbs. There appears to be no evidence of photographic tampering. Based on our finding, we would conclude that this represents the first conclusive proof of an unknown big cat at large in the British countryside."

Hi, you may be interested to know that the original photo published in the Wakefield Express and The Sun was certified as genuine by Japanese scientists: "We estimate it to be about 7-8ft long, 3ft high and to weigh about 280lbs.
