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...

NEW ZEALAND CRYPTOZOOLOGY RADIO

I am doing a half-hour radio show segment starting about 9:00am this Saturday (21st November) for The Cryptid Factor with comedian/actor Rhys Darby and TV3 news presenter
David Farrier.

It will be a top 10 countdown of New Zealand mystery monsters/animals (yes, we have more than 10 in NZ!). The show is a serious one but has a lot of humour thrown in, too. In real life both Rhys and David are passionate about mystery animals like the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot.

David actually financed his own expedition to Mongolia earlier this year to do a documentary on the Mongolian Death Worm (I am NOT joking - see http://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/news/article.cfm?c_id=7&objectid=10604790 )

You can listen to the show on:

Auckland 96.8
Wellington 106.7
Christchurch 106.9
Dunedin 107.7

or if you live overseas just click
on the Listen button at

http://www.georgefm.co.nz/

to hear it through their Internet site on your tinny PC speakers (check the http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ first to calculate what local time it will be on for you!).

I regularly do a 10-15 minute section called Tales From The Vault at about 9:15 or 9:30 each
Saturday for the show. I cover old monster reports from around the world (anytime from the
600's up to the 1970's).
