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...
A few days ago Karl wrote a blog about a mysterious parrot picture.
Another blog has gone up at Frontiers of Anthropology about another unusual Indonesian hominid fossil:
Back in the day (c.1998) Nigel (on right) held it all together at the CFZ. Now he lives oop t'north and we hardly ever see him. But we all wish him a very happy birthday....
These are mostly all introductions anyway, more details to be filled in as we go along. I have three more new Cedar-and-Willow blogs to send you the links for
