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...

WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY

Last night young Emily Taylor, star of the eponymous movie about the big cats, was with us as we watched the expedition footage. It had only been a few days since she had sat agog watching the Irish footage. "Is it always this exciting?" she asked.

Richard arrived here at about seven last night after a series of misadventures. He was absolutely shattered, but he was together enough to show us the pictures and the film. Despite the manifold equipment screw-ups the film they did take is magnificent, and whilst it would appear there is not enough of it to produce a feature length movie of the trip, there is enough - together with the photographs we have received so far - to produce some Great Shorts.

We hope that we will have produced something of the kind by the end of the day.

We will be releasing pictures and hopefully interviews throughout the day, and it will be interesting to find out whether the other websites who are so quick to leap upon every flaw in CFZ methodology will be as quick to promulgate the pictures and video from the expedition.

Somehow I doubt it....

Starting today we shall be releasing as much material from the Sumatra expedition each day as we can. Although we are - as always - being as open and honest as we are able, I have no doubt that some idiots will claim that we faked the whole thing and that all the pictures were actually taken over the Bank Holiday weekend at a disused industrial estate outside Bolton. Pah!
