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...
KOLO: Last July Ross bought his first ever little dog, a cockapoo puppy, who he named Kolo. I was bitten by a Red Setter when I was a teenager and was very reluctant to have a dog, although I grew up with family labradors when I was a child. Read on...
Richard was due to fly out to Tasmania today for the second Thylacine
expedition, but his gout has returned, his foot has swollen up like a balloon,
and he can't walk. So he is forced to be languishing at home rather than
adventuring across The Outback. I am trying to contact someone on the expedition
at the moment, but to no avail. This is a big blow especially for Richard.
I promised you all that 2015 would be a year of big changes, and so it has been. And the latest is mostly due to the hard work of Dr Andrew May who pointed out to me about a month ago that there wasn't actually a proper CFZ Publishing website, which considering we have over 130 titles in various formats was absolutely ridiculous.
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
