MUIRHEAD'S MYSTERIES: Strange animal in China
Strange animal in China – it looks a bit like a coati to me, but it`s not got a stripped tail and it`s in completely the wrong place.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.- New chick find signals hope for critically endange...

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS ROUNDUP
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012 Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.
THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS A DIFFICULT TIME OF IT
It is, I am sure, too much to expect, but
wouldn't it be lovely if the summer was always like this? I love this weather
even if it is not conducive to productivity, because it makes me even more
soporific than usual. There are more butterflies in the garden than there have
been for years: I saw six species the other afternoon. Much to Richard's
chagrin, the larger moths are also flying - we had a visit from a female oak
eggar that terrified the poor lad. Preparations for next weekend at the Summer
of Love festie are well underway. It is actually the first festival I have been
to in 20 years, since I saw African Headcharge (who were brilliant, the On U
sound system, John Martyn, The Manic Steet Preachers (who were awful) and Steve
Harley at a three dayer in Milton Keynes back in 1993. Golly I am getting old. So... What's new on the Gonzo Daily?

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?

NIGEL WRIGHT FOUND ME THIS: Abduction Of Baby Orca Whale
A baby Orca Killer Whale has been found on the side of a mountain in Ireland. It is at least 500 yards to the nearest dirt road and over three miles inland off the Donegal coastline in Ireland. Some local men came upon the baby Orca whale laying up on the side of a mountain and it appeared the estimated 1800 pound whale had been dropped on its head. It was still alive and in distress when the men found it. It died shortly after they discovered it. How did a Killer Whale get up on the side of a mountain in Ireland three miles inland from the coast.
Local police who investigated the incident say that there were no type of tire tracks or human tracks anywhere near the baby Orca Whale even though it had been raining in the area for several days.
However several people who live in the area told of seeing strange orbs of light up in the air over the mountain for several nights in a row before the young whale was discovered laying up on the side of the mountain.
