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...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

 On this day in 1931 Thomas Edison died. Edison claimed to have invented hundreds of things the most famous being the incandescent light bulb, which oddly enough Joseph Swan had invented and patented before Edison... funny that, kind of makes you doubt the myth somewhat. He also killed an elephant and used the media and his contacts to ruin Tessla, who was a true visionary and didn't stoop to stealing other peoples inventions.

 And now the news:
  • Big clawed fossil had spider-like brain
  • Monkeys 'take turns in conversation'
  • Group aims to remove prairie dogs from town
  • Swiss customs seize rare frogs in taxi – via Herp ...
  • Orphaned otter cub rescued from Scottish street on...
  • Pinocchio lizard rediscovered? Or just good PR?

  • Online backlash as farm shop sells shark meat from...

    •  Thomas Edison's other contributions to society include direct current and the electric chair. Here's a dramatisation of what can go wrong with this method of execution (WARNING not a pleasant clip) :
