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/

Sadly, not every day has something Fortean that has happened on it; this is one of those days. My barrel-scraping, however, revels that Joe ‘hole in the wall team captain’ Swash ** was born on this day in 1982, which I guess sort of counts as Fortean because he’s presenting a sort of Most Haunted-type programme on BBC Three in the coming weeks (Jon’s really going to hate me for having mentioned reality TV on the CFZ bloggo, though).
And now, for something completely different:

Plants and animals race for survival as climate change creeps across the globe
A year of highs and lows for wildlife
On feline wing and prayer
Boy accused of sexually abusing family cat
Casper the commuting cat killed by hit-and-run driver

He’s had to ‘cat’-ch the last train for the coast. Poor little fellow, RIP Casper.

** Thankfully (and for once I am not doing as my father did and pretending to have no knowledge of the modern world), I have absolutely no idea what Oll is talking about, and suspect that it is something of which I should be glad that I have no knowledge. Sadly some ingrate will probably enlighten me. JD
