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...

THE BLUE DOG/CHUPACABRAS SAGA CONTINUES



A pack of hairless critters that has taken to a patch of woods just north of U.S. 183 and RM 1431 in Cedar Park has people in the area wondering if the creatures could be the legendary chupacabra. Authorities, however, are blaming the sightings on mangy coyotes. Read on...

I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN


And so thursday is upon us. Graham is still away visiting his mother and seeing Hawkwind (not necessarily in that order) and yesterday we discovered for the second year running that our Rio Cauca caecilians have bred. As far as I am aware we are the only people in Britain to have bred them twice.

We also have some jolly postings for you here on Gonzo Daily.

We start off with news about the special edition of Michael Des Barres new album (which comes out next month). I am very much looking forward to it:

We also have an interesting remix of one of the spacier tracks on Mimi Page's album:

There is news of a special acoustic concert by Rick and Oliver Wakeman:

And whilst on the subject of 'Yes' alumni, here is a video of Jon Anderson on Stipko Live:

We have Rob Ayling in a coon-skin cap. Why? We cannot say:

And there is a link top a review of 'Orfeas' by the mighty Judge Smith:

And finally guest blogger Richard Freeman says goodbye to Ray Bradbury, the writer who directly influenced Robert Calvert's Centigrade 232:

On this day in 1931 the actress Virginia McKenna was born. She stared with her husband, Bill Travers, in the films “Born Free” and the child traumatising “Ring of Bright Water”. They were both also instrumental in the founding of the born free foundation.

And now the news:

A lovely film (until about 10 minutes from the end) :

KARL SHUKER ON WERE-DOLPHINS


It may be the 21st Century – an ultra-technological age of cyberspace, DNA analyses, and subatomic particle physics - but the old traditions have far from vanished. In countless cultures worldwide, there still exists a tenacious, deep-rooted belief in therianthropy – the supposed ability of certain humans to transform themselves into animals. Werewolves are perhaps the most famous example, but many others are on record, including were-leopards, were-crocodiles, were-pigs, were-tigers, and were-hyaenas, to name but a few. One of the most extraordinary, however, are the encantado – the ‘enchanted ones’ – whose reality is still fervently asserted in many parts of South America, including Peru, Venezuela, and, especially, Brazil.
