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...
Glen Vaudrey sent these: they were taken on 1/12/10 in snow the depth of the snow was around 1 inch, the prints appeared to be webbed and the animal had dragged its tail in the snow. The photo was taken on a pathway at the edge of a nature reserve and between two large expanses of fresh water the trail cuts strait across the path into undergrowth on either side.

As these pictures are from the Cheshire area, I would hazard a guess at an Otter being the culprit.
Undoubtedly the Spotted and Herbacious Backson (as identified by Owl in Winnie-the-Pooh
Otter, most likely.
Slightly different topic, I have ol'Cooney tracks on my front porch in the snow and his forepaws are about two inches across. How big of a raccoon would ypou make that out to be?
(My cat Katze hates Cooney. Everytime I start to feed Katze, any time of the day, Katze will look off the South end of the porch and check out the view due West. That is the way old Cooney comes, right over our back fence and right by the garbage cans first. But Cooney will not show up on ordinary daylight hours so Katze is over-reacting)
