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...

I would severely take issue with the statement that taking Bigfoot as a purely biological entity will not work. In fact upon investigation it works very well, including the realization that "Bigfoot" reports are not all describing the same thing and that such reports routinely include mistaken impressions of bears (including in Pennsylvania.) If bears are responsible forsome reports and bears are biological entities, then it is the "High strangeness" aspect that is mistaken. Why on earth the "High Strangeness" aspect is even taken seriously rather than written off asjournalistic license and general hysteria seems beyond belief. Part of the problem is that most of the writers have NO grounding in biological or ecological research and in fact are persons who make a career of publishing sensationalistic stories.
