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...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today




http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/


Sunday is when I show off the latest 3D picture I’ve made. Today I’ve made something of cryptozoolgical note. When I was in the Gambia searching for the body of the sea monster known as Gambo with Richard et al I noticed something unusual about the dolphin carvings that were on sale locally. Like ‘Gambo’ these carvings do not at first glance possess a dorsal fin. Upon closer inspection they do but it is nothing more than a small bump. Is this just lazy carving or are they depicting a species of dolphin that is unknown to science? You decide when you look at this photo using red and blue 3D glasses:




Personally, I think it is most likely lazy carving but I do like it. If you want to know more about Gambo you can buy the Gambia expedition report, available from Amazon along with a plethora of other CFZ books, expedition reports and magazines to cater for all cryptozoological tastes. OK, advert over; now it’s time for the news:
