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...

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES

What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?

Well, everything, actually!

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.

THE GONZO HEN GOES HOP HOP HOPPING ALONG (AS DOES THE GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN)

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
Most of you will remember that at the end of 2014 in my annual report for the CFZ I pledged that our journal will finally revert to the quarterly schedule which is has always supposed to have been. Issue 55 came out at Christmas and so even those of you who still count on your fingers, like I do will realise that issue 56 is due before the end of march. But today is the end of march! Yes, and when Corinna returns from work in an hour or so she will finish prove reading it and it will be uploaded. So those of you who might have been thinking “Bloody Hell, Jon Downes has screwed up again”, will be technically be incorrect.
This has been a very peculiar year, with family health problems, Corinna started a new job and me being continually faffed around by someone who shall remain nameless, but has a horrid reputation for faffing people around. At least he's consistent.

    THE GONZO WHATSIT BLOGS IN A DOO-DAH FASHION

    The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday
     
    I am finally firing on all four (well, three anyway) cylinders for the first time in weeks, and I sincerely hope it will remain like this for a while. All the hundreds of good people (four actually) who were good enough to buy my new single, be assured tha+t I signed them, and Corinna posted them this morning. A few minutes ago according to: http://tinyurl.com/3kw8txv the world population was 7,412,095,840 which means that there are 7,412,095,836 of you who have not bought my extraordinary new record. If you wish to rectify that just follow this link:
     
    While I am in the process of flogging stuff, check out this year's Weird Weekend tickets at:
    http:www.weirdweekend.org
     
    I would also like to thank Andrea for sending me this interesting article which suggests that sivatherium existed much more recently than was thought: http://tinyurl.com/hby2tju
     
    The article is potentially misleading because it calls them unicorns, which strictly they were. But they were not horselike, and like the article says we cannot tell whether these ancient rhinoceroslike creatures had blood with: "magical properties". I suggest for. by the way, that for fantasy unicorn lore it would be best to check out T H White rather than J K Rowling.
