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...
I was touring New Zealand in late 2005 when the tour guide told me the following story.
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/Oliver is still gallivanting around the fleshpots of Plymouth, doing whatever it is that a Welshman does when he goes to the big city. (Answers on a postcard please) so today, for one day, his column is being taken over by me, a conceptual chicken with a bad attitude.
Today is Stereoscopic Sunday (according to Oliver) but in his abscence I know that I can't produce 3D piccies of stuff around the CFZ mansion because after all, I am only a conceptual chicken and I also don't know how to work Oliver's 3D Camera thingy, because I do not have opposable thumbs.
So there.
...But why is Jon wearing a Red Army Faction T-Shirt c. 1978? Bloody hippy!
However, don't say we didn't warn you. The afternoon's big shoot, involving a budget of nearly fifteen quid, and a cast of, ummm nine, a crew of five, three cars, and a small boy on a unicycle went off reasonably without a hitch. 
Time for Richard Freeman again. It almost seems silly introducing Richard to you all once again when he makes an appearance as guest blogger several times a week. However, our viewing audience/ readers (whatever you like to call yourselves) is growing so fast that it is certain that some of you missed the last time I introduced him.
