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...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today




http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

If my memory serves me, and quite often of late it doesn’t, Monday is when I recommend a film. Usually it involves either serial killers, cartoons or Jeff Bridges in some capacity but this week I fancy a change. In 1975 Disney made one of the greatest family films known to man; that film was One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing. What other work of high art would feature nannies holding a secret meeting in the belly of a morphologically inaccurate blue whale in the natural history museum AND an Apatosaurus skeleton seemingly running through the streets of London?

It was also Disney’s first foray into the Steam-Punk genre, which they would later also explore with the criminally under-rated Altantis: The Lost Empire. Anyway, here’s a trailer:

And here’s the news:

Black bear chills out in beer cooler

Revealed: the animal rescues that cost £8.5m

Aquarium worker bitten by shark

Grizzly mauls hunters asleep in tent

There's Nothing So Rare as a Cougar in Missouri

They did the D.N.A. test because the hunter was adamant he wasn’t ‘lion’.
