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...

AT BLOODY LAST

I don't think that we have ever published a book before that has given us quite so much hassle. Everything that could go wrong DID go wrong, and the book that was supposed to be our big seller for Christmas has finally limped onto Amazon in mid-December - five weeks late.


But it is out and it is a smashing book. Nick Molloy needs to be congratulated as does Anthony Wallis. But I would also like to thank two unsung heroes: Lizzy (who edited it) and Max (who was Technical Editor). Between you guys you have done a remarkable job. Thank you.

I seriously suggest that you buy this for your teenaged male relatives who are bound to want to know which animal out of T. rex, the Siberian tiger orca, polar bear, and many others was actually the most terrible predator ever to have walked the earth. And yes, there is still time to order this remarkable book before Christmas...

My only disappointment with the book is that it doesn't even attempt to answer Richard Freeman's conundrum about who would win a fight between Diet Coke and Johnny Mathis...
