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...

THERE ARE INDEED BIG CATS IN BRITAIN (BUT IT WAS THE CFZ WHO FOUND THEM)

I find it rather sad that Jon Downes could not bring himself to acknowledge the pivotal work done by Andrew Perry and his friends in providing evidence for the presence of a leopard near Woolsery. Congratulations to Lars for having the integrity to remedy the situation. Dave T.

People like you will always see a slight where none is intended. The fact that I didn't mention everyone involved in an extemporised introduction on stage means nothing at all.

To read this as a studied insult to Andrew, Nadia, and everyone else who helped find hair samples for Lars to analyse is ludicrous. It is nothing of the sort.

The fact is, that in an area identified by the CFZ as a hotspot for big cat sightings for the last five years, CFZ members, and pewople associated with the CFZ discovered these samples, analysed them and presented the findings at a CFZ Conference!

Dear friends,
I have been in contact with Jon and he assures me that no slight was intended.
I would like to draw a line under this now by informing you that I have actually been in discussion with Jon how I and my extended network of contacts can proceed with our collaborative work with him and the CFZ to build on our initial findings to the greater benefit of the crypto-community. Ventures like this will always be a team effort and I am looking forward to a hopefully successful conclusion to our groundbraking find.
Perry.
