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/

On this day in 1908 Ian Fleming was born. Fleming is best known as the author of the James Bond novels and of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What not so many people know about Fleming is that he was a member of the British Navy Intelligence during World War 2 and one of his plans was to use Alistair Crowley to lure Rudolf Hess into Britain. The plan was never implemented though because Hess came to Britain anyway in an attempt to broker a peace deal behind Hitler’s back.
And now, the news:

Asian bear filmed doing 'Kung Fu' moves with stick
Millions of frogs close road in Greece
An eagle expedition
Alaotra grebe declared extinct
Brontosaurus - free to a good home!
Secrets and oddities of the deep on display
Where eagles dare to baldly go
Ancient cephalopod identified
Firemen rescue squirrel
It must be puppy love
Tent caterpillar plague

Why was it such a shock when the butterfly larvae became embroiled in a scandal? Everyone had thought he was a (cate)pillar of the community.
