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 other day we posted this story about giant earthworms, and Richard F. (who originally sourced the website) pointed out that we hadn't included this link to the pages about the deahworm including "loads of photos of giant earthworms that they are trying to pass off as deathworms!"

I have taken a look om the giant earthworm pictures, and just for the record, they are not from Australia. Despite of what is on record, the Australian species is very thin, although extremely long. Having seen one in 1986 on my first trip to Australia I can vouch for the fact, that they look like like common earthworms, just extremely long. The ones on these pictures are probably the Brazilian/SOuth American giant earthworms. They are on the short side, but very fat. The girl in one of the pictures also looks rather brazilian. But, what is rather more interesting is the fact that the brazilian species regularly climbs to the surface and frolicks about.
