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...

DEAR LORD



1. It is NOT a chupacabra
2. It is a dog of some kind, probably mostly coyote. We are in poll position to find out because we have its back leg and other bits in a freezer
3. If it is what I think it might be, it is evidence FOR not against evolution
4. If its not, it is a complex introgressive hybrid of known species
5. Some people are idiots

It seems that of late any mystery animal, regardless of identity, reported from a heavily Hispanic region or seen by a Hispanic person is automatically the Chupacabra, and it doesn't matter what it is. The Chupacabra, to me, is fast becoming another Jersey Devil. The funky little alien kangaroo thingy, mystery canines, birds and Bigfoot are all chalked up as the Chupacabra, which kind of discredits it, because people are going to get to a point where it seems that any animal whose appearance is so mutable has to be a fraud. Fact is it's only because of witness and media error that it *does* seem mutable. Ironic to me that the "core" Chupacabra, the alien kangaroo, doesn't seem to have been reported for quite some time.

This is Fox News's (Rupert Murdoch's) morning show.

You don't watch this show to be informed.

In fact, you generally don't watch this channel to be informed.

I have it blocked on my television!
