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...

MAX SENT THIS...




He thinks it is rather special, and if you are into softshell turtles (as are we) then it is hard not to agree with him..

Sorry, could not see anything there. But it did give me a chance to say something about softshell turtles.
Feller from across the street gave one of our neices one such a turtle one time and we wound up trying to take care of it while keeping it in an aquarium at our house. It never did eat all the time we had it. Softshells can be the most stubborn, onery, peevish and ill-tempered turtles you can try to keep-they are not the kind that most people can rear as pets. We eventually released ours back into the wild.

Also up until recently we were keeping a pair of box turtles in a pen in the bacvk yard. they were a male and a female and we had them for decades. Box turtles are incidentally not tortoises but terrapins that live on land. Both recently disappeared out of the pen and we feel certain neighborhood kids had stolen them. We felt badly about that because we were also fairly certain that the kids would not care for them and they would eventually die of neglect. Kids should be made aware that if you have a pet, you are responsible for the animal's upkeep for the rest of its life and most kids nowadays are not prepared for such a commitment.
