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...

THAT INDIAN CAT


Recently, all sorts of wild claims have been made,following an annoucement by the Indian autorities regarding a mystry cat which was allegedly photographed in the sunderbans national park. The original news releases where accompied by a brace of photographs which initially looked quit intriguing. However, on closer exemantion proved to be of two animals of known species; A leopard cat and a fishing cat. I noted at the time that who ever was reponsebal had kept the pictures of this new animal under wraps, so that internet pirate dudes like me couldn’t nick them and proliferate them across the aether.

However, some days had passed and still the pictures have not appered. It has been claimed that the animal a melanistic leopard albit in a place were leopards have never been seen. It has also been claimed that it could be a melanistic cat. This is likely to be the case,although with out a picture, we still have no way of telling. This is what the Wildlife Institute of India claims, I rekon that they are correct. But why not realese the photographs? all this is going to do is promote vulgar specalation in the cheap seats until they do.

Watch this space.
