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...

The Solomon Islands type is mentioned in Heuvelmans' checklist and I suspect it is a misplaced monkey that is sometimes known to walk on its hind legs (photo provided on my original blog for this, under "Menehune")
I also posted a blog entry recently how the majority of hairy manlike creatures conform to known biological laws and I concluded that they are mostly of a known fossil species that many Anthropologists consider to be Homo sapiens, our own species.
So that would not even constitute any kind of a mystery. Our own species is NOT an unknown animal!
its quite interesting that here in New Zealand we actuall have 3 types of manbeast. The hairy giants, the man sized and then the dwarf kind.
All in one country.
