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...

Alligator The Length Of Car Caught In Mississippi River, 13-Foot Man Eater

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.

Dustin Bockman with record-setting Mississippi Alligator
Forget the Lochness monster, there’s Alligators the size of cars swimming around in American Rivers.   Dustin Bockman, Ryan Bockman and Cole Landers were cruising the Mississippi during the state’s limited time, gator hunting season  when they came across something in the water that was massive.  From head to tail, it was near the length of a Nissan Versa.  It was not an automobile though.  Instead the trio of fellas stumbled across the heaviest alligator in the state’s history.
How long and heavy was this monstrous reptile?   It was 13-feet long .  The weight was equivalent to over 3 average sized men, 727 pounds.
As soon as the beast was hauled back to shore, the Mississippi alligator hunting program’s coordinator, Ricky Flint, was notified.    After further investigation and an official check, the gator became the biggest ever caught in the state.
