ANDREW MAY: Words from the Wild Frontier

Jon has asked me to provide a quick digest of news from the CFZ outposts in Australia and the USA. I will try to do this on a daily basis, but to get started, here are some stories from the last seven days...

From CFZ Australia:

It's out! The CFZ Yearbook 2011 New from CFZ Press
Sumatra's Short Man of the Forest

From Crypto Squad USA:

CFZ: The 2011 Yearbook Has Arrived! (I know, but it doesn't hurt to mention it again)

From Nick Redfern's blog:

GOOD OLD DOCTOR BEACHCOMBING, HE'S ALWAYS THERE WITH SOMETHING WITH WHICH TO AMAZE AND INSTRUCT

Beachcombing is returning with some relief to familiar territory after the Shakespeare wars of the last couple of days. The subject: unicorns and the earliest human accounts of these mysterious creatures.

In the Indus Valley about 3000 BC a series of seals were created that portray an animal with one horn: they predate the mention of unicorns in the Bible by perhaps two thousand years (or more if as seems likely the Biblical unicorn is based on a mistranslation). Read on

GLEN VAUDREY: Trail Cameras for Sumatra Part 4

Another advantage of the trail cam is that it is small enough to be well hidden, so well hidden that a passing animal may not even know it’s being spied upon. Once again Trevor will demonstrate this ability, cunningly hidden in the undergrowth he can take plenty of pictures of animals going about their lives, and who knows what surprising things he could spy.

Today it looks like he has found a Yeti drinking tea from a cup; well you never would have expected that.


Many thanks to those who have so far donated, your contributions are very welcome and much appreciated. Don’t despair if you haven’t yet donated, or if you wish to contact me about the trail cams, the campaign still has many more weeks to run.


Just to recap, to sponsor a trail cam will cost £100. If that seems a little steep why not get a group together to sponsor one of these trail cams, a group of five will pay just £20 each. Sponsors will get an update on any pictures and when something exciting is spotted your name will go up in lights alongside the photo.


Don’t despair if you miss out on Trevor, he has plenty of friends who also need help in breaking free.


Your sponsorship will pay for the release and upkeep of Trevor and kin, but sadly you will have no rights to take him home.


Now doesn’t that sound like a good deal? Armchair cryptozoology at its best. All the fun of an expedition without being bitten by scary tropical insects.


If you like the sound of this then please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

THREE TOES FOOTPRINT


Three-Toed Print



This three-toed footprint was found between Chama and Dulce in New Mexico on October 26, 2010. We also saw a bright glowing light moving strangely in the sky to the West, most evenings, but we regrettably did not get any pictures.
