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...

SHERI THE CFZ INTERN: Day 5 – Monday

The day started with the usual kitten alarm clocks and chocolate cereal. After my own feeding had been attended to we went about the animals to attend to theirs. Nothing terribly exciting happened with regards to the animals, aside from actually seeing the crow eat. The quails hadn’t eaten as much as usual, so were not given as much today.

This preceded replacing the water in the axolotl tank and wiping the glass.

After holding some panes of glass in place for Graham, we commenced clearing out the stairwell in the back of the conservatory. The entire space was full to the rafters. Around a third of this proved to be taken up by large empty boxes, which were subsequently piled into an enormous mound in the garden, ready to be flattened. A couple more bin bags of rubbish were also removed.

Things that were to be of use for the Weird Weekend were set aside in another big pile and everything else went back onto the stairs, including rather a lot of bubble-rap (for some strange and unknown reason). The overall volume of the stairwell seemed to be reduced by about half.

Quite a bit of time was then taken to calm myself back down after being accosted by so many large spiders. In fact, this was the end to today’s activities.
