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...

CARL CHALLENGES CORINNA (2)

My dear Corinna,

Sterling effort for the first photo. Alas it is not a Jay so you can’t (yet) have a cleverness badge. I must admit that these photographs were sent to me by a very close friend so I am unable to tell you what the box is in the photo. Looks like a thermostat (which I am sure you deduced) but can’t be sure. It was not taken at my place but in a zoo/gardens.

No more clues...

Here’s your second photograph and you have one guess. GO FOR IT CORINNA.



Dear Carl,



Not a jay? Just testing you there. After seeing the little fella grown up a bit, I am now plumping for a bird of prey of some description. It has the look of a hunter about it so will go for.....(pulls name out of hat) ........a ..... no that won't do (I have no idea who put that piece of paper in there with 'orange cat' written upon it - must have been Biggles) .....wait a bit (pulls another name out)..... yes... I know ...a kite. Just a small badge will do by the way - doesn't have to have flashing lights adorning it or anything like that - although a little bit of ribbon will be just dandy - but not pink.



Love from Corinna
