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 1974 Donald Johanson and Tom Gray discovered the first Australopithecus afarensis skeleton, which they named Lucy. Also on this day in 1963 Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald and in 1971 hijacker Dan Cooper jumped from a plane flying over Washington State, USA with $200,000 in ransom money, neither he or the money were ever seen again.
And now the cryptozoology news:

Strange creatures of the deep found in underwater 'twilight zone'
Smuggler ties 15 lizards to his chest
Dog attack kangaroo turned on owner
Drug misuse on Minnesota dairy cows prompts federal warning
3 new ancient crocodile species fossils found
Mary the tortoise 'is actually male'

One day a baby elephant and her 90-year-old great grandmother went for a drink in a watering hole, all of a sudden the old elephant spots a tortoise on the bank and thunders towards him before kicking him into the grass.

“Why did you do that?” asked the baby elephant.

“Because,” The old elephant answered “I can remember coming down to this watering hole when I was your age and, clear as day, I remember that very tortoise biting my tail exactly 84 years and 243 days ago.”

“Wow,” said the baby elephant, suitably impressed “I hope I have turtle recall when I’m your age too.”
