CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track: 05/26/17

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.

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

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.

GOODNESS ME SAYS THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The Gonzo Daily: Friday/Saturday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

And so we reach the end of another week. And you know what? This is one of those weeks when I look back at what I have been doing and can think of nothing whatsoever to say. Yesterday we had a pale tussock moth in the garden, and Corinna rescued a young common shrew that was attracting too much attention from the cats, and it is far hotter than I feel comfortablew with, but none of that is actually headline news. Graham is visiting relatives in the Home Counties, will be seeing Hawkwind at the Roundhouse tonight, and will be returning to the ranch tomorrow, and condolences to Mark Raines on the loss of his Mother, and Glen Vaudrey who lost his entire flock of pet ducks to a marauding fox.

And now, here is the news:

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 Archie and the Cats?
