At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

ORANG UTAN


The Orang Utan (Pongo) causes confusion amongst readers of English, many of whom think its name is Orang-Utang.  Actually, in Malay and Indonesian, Orang Utan is the correct form, meaning 'Man of the Woods'.  Orang Utang, on the other hand, means 'Man in Debt'.
