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

On this day in 1968 Gillian Anderson was born. Anderson is best known for having played Agent Dana Scully in The X-Files.

Urban fox hunt video was hoax aimed at the media, ...

Usually at this point in YNT I make a (not very good) joke or link to something on youtube or elsewhere vaguely related to a news story’s subject but today I won’t because I want to highlight what idiots Chris Atkins and Johnny Howorth are.

If one is anti-fox-hunting there are many ways you can make your point. However fake footage really isn’t the way to do it. As cryptozoologists all know, whenever a fake photo or video of a cryptid appears or is unmasked in the press this is painted as the evidence that all sightings and evidence of a cryptid are therefore fake no matter how compelling other evidence may be. Now, if people produce evidence of animal abuse during a fox hunt many will suspect it of being fake like the urban fox hunt film. On top of that there are some very stupid people out there who will probably try to repeat what they saw in the video for the ‘giddy thrill’ of being a ‘rebel.’
