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.
GIANT SEA SNAIL
Such a creature, readers may remember, was encountered by Dr Dolittle, the man who could communicate with animals in the books of Hugh Lofting. However, such a creature has been reported in reality. It was reported in the Baltic Sea in the 16th Century.
Certain features apart from size distinguished it from the average snail. It had paws and there were eyes on either side of its head.
If you own a French restaurant and see this as a possible source of food, I would point out that it has not been seen in modern times, so I would advise against a hunting expedition. It has not been seen in recently and, even if a small population still exists, such an expedition would not alone be unprofitable, it would be execrable.
