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...

CFZ AUSTRALIA: Haven't they done marvellously?

A fortnight or so back I said that I was going to do a weekly round up of the news stories from the CFZ Australia blog. Stuff got in the way, and my arteries hardened a little more, and I basically didn't. This morning, having been kicked out of bed at a ridiculously early hour by a snoring bulldog, I came downstairs to play a game of Command and Conquer and do the blog. It was only then that I remembered. So I went in search of the CFZ Australia site and nearly had a fit!

I had not realised (despite reading it each day) quite what a volume of information dear Mike and Rebecca put out. The following are JUST the stories since I last posted on November 21st (excepting the ones when they very kindly linked to a story on the main blog that they decided was of particular importance). Strewth!
