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...

KITHRA ON `GLOBAL BIGFOOT NAMES`

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve now uploaded the latest article to my website. You can read it here.

I’m still working on the next one, but it’s rather complicated so it could take me some time to finish – providing that I find sufficient information during my research for it to be worth writing.

The current one, entitled “Global Bigfoot Names,” covers some of the names that I’ve found are used around the world. I think it’s always useful to know some of the alternative names for Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti etc:

I can’t vouch for the veracity of all of them, so if you need to know more I suggest you use Google, or some other search engine, to find out about them. And I hope that my own research will give you some ideas.

Hi Kithra, it looks as though you have some basic lists out of Wikipedia as well as some other sources.
I would caution you that not all names are referring to the same thing and not all of them are couple. You have a couple names on there that were meant to name some specific individuals (such as Zana)

About a week ago I mentioned that the Wildman category is synonymous with about 200 individual names or categories listed in Eberhart's book Mysterious Creatures. I would limit the number of names as specific to the Man-ape and ape categories much more severly. Yes it is quite simple to sort the categories once you have complete enough descriptions, and the Sasquatch is a Man-Ape while the original "Yeti" is only a kind of an ape. The Eastern Bigfoot is more of a hairy human: but you can tell them apart by the body proportions and tyhe size and shape of the braincase. And yes there are also even some bears in there.

Best Wishes, Dale D.
