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...

Hello again. Here is the story of a huge fox in Surrey, which ran on the Wild About Britain Forum in April and May 2011 continuing from Part One.

Re: Enormous fox.

If you go to a take away late at night in Bristol and sit down to eat it just off the main road close to a church yard or waste land, you will fairly quickly get up close to some quite large foxes thanks to all the junk food and easy to access bins providing a year round food source on top of the large rat population etc.

The foxes I tend to see very frequently when in Yorkshire are both thinner and also smaller in stature as there is not such a ready supply of discarded food so they have to work for their meals.

When I lived in Norway a person up the road had a pet red and Arctic fox, soft as any thing as they had been raised as pets after being saved when young from the fur trade.

We all get things that we always “ wonder” about. You may well have to put this down to one of them. The longer you live, the more things you see that make you wonder. I expected them to get less with experience.

It was probably a large, very healthy dog fox. They are quite impressive and do appear larger than life. Beautiful creatures. I am not too far from Tilford either.
