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.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
New on the Frontiers of Zoology:
Today is an absolutely glorious one, and
the fact that it is a Bank Holiday so the telephone is unlikely to ring, and
nobody is likely to try and sell me anything, makes it even better. Corinna and
I have been involved in another little bit of animal rescue, and we have
fostered a little dog who has been named Archimedes the Archimandrite of Joppa
(read 'The United Idolaters' by Rudyard Kipling if you are interested enough to
want an explanation) or 'Archie' for short. I have been wanting a companion for
Prudence for some time, and hopefully the addition of a younger and more
sprightly hound will encourage her to be a little more active. But I am not
holding my breath. They both slept in/on the bed last night, and there was
hardly any room for us humans!
