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...

CFZ SIGN BBC DEAL

At last we can tell you. Or at least, at last we can tell you some of it.

A couple of weeks ago we signed a contract with the prestigious Minnow Films of London to produce a feature-length observational documentary for the BBC. We haven't been able to give all the details for contractual reasons, and indeed we cannot tell you any more. As soon as a title, length, BBC Channel, broadcast date or anything else is confirmed, we shall - of course - tell you.

The company will be following us around all winter and for the first part of next year (until the beginning of June). They have already filmed the Weird Weekend, and it looks probable that another expedition will be in the offing.

Sadly I can't tell you any more at this point, because I don't really know much more myself. However, it is sufficient to say that this is the biggest break that we have had for years and I have no intention of buggering it up by revealing too much information too early on....
