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...

DALE DRINNON WRITES

Markus Hemmler added a mention of this piece of South African rock art to a discussion in one of the Cryptozoology groups on Facebook:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/frontiers-of-zoology/photos/album/209737747/pic/2110162806/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=101&count=20&dir=asc


It appears to correspond to the description of the Dingonek and such. It might be a sort of large otter with exaggerated fangs, or it might be a composite. No known type of sabertoothed cat has a long tail like that, or much of a tail at all in most cases.



I also have some more Bigfoot tracks and such to add. I have been adding a lot of stuff on my Facebook wall recently and not so much here, so I suppose it's time for some trickle-down. Benny and I both have ongoing medical problems so things are not so good here. According to my last checkup I am edging towards a prediabetic condition (no real cause for concern yet) and so it's time to cut back on the Little Debbies (Something Benny has been telling me for years) and get back into a regular excercise routine. I had pretty much got to the point where I would write on the computer for a shift, walk across the living room to the easy chair, and nap until the next shift, back and forth at all hours. Right now on Facebook I am branching out and trying new and different things instead.
