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/

On this day in 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated, which gave European countries the excuse they’d been waiting for to start the First World War. There are stories told that a few weeks before his death Ferdinand met his exact physical doppelganger in Italy and after talking with each other they became friends. Some claim that meeting your doppelganger is a warning of impending death and if this story is true then it certainly didn’t turn out well for the Archduke, what happened to the other man, however, I don’t know. If anyone is familiar with this tale and does know more please use the comments section here to share your knowledge as death portents is a subject that has always fascinated me.
And now, the news:

Plants Demonstrate Complex Ability to Integrate Infomation
CHILD KILLED AT CENTRAL PARK ZOO
Strange creature on the prowl in East Texas
Experts rediscover plant presumed extinct for 60 years
Jail Snake

Well, with the weather this warm, snakes are obviously going to be more active so it ‘adder’ happen sooner or later.
