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...
I will be the first to admit that I was spectacularly stupid when I posted the last trenche of Jan's mystery footprints. They were of course feral cat prints, but the efficacy of the compy was not helped by the fact that the name of the *.jpg proclaimed as much.

That first one looks somewhat similar to the prints i saw and photographed a few days ago on a snow-covered frozen canal in Birmingham, which were similarly grouped in threes. (I haven't uploaded the photo yet, but probably will soon, maybe tonight.)
However, those prints looked identical in everything apart from their arrangement to all the (obvious domestic) cat tracks in the vicinity, so my conclusion was that they were presumably the tracks of a 3-legged cat. These don't look so catlike to me, but i'm going to guess a 3-legged something...
I would hazard a gues at rabbit or hare, front feet close together appearing as one track.
