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.

CENTAURS AGAIN

Yesterday I posted a link about alleged sightings of Centaurs.  I would like to augment what is said in the article there with some actual cases.  

 In 1963 James McKinney of Centerville (Illinois) was on the telephone to his police department reporting the sighting of a centaur.  There was also a report of one from Melbourne (Florida).
This was seen by a 10-year old child, his sister and a pair of friends.   As far as I am aware, neither is in a "high strangeness" area.  In 2006 rumor was circulating of centaur sightings in Canada, but I have no direct information on these.  In 2011 a caller told the program Coast to Coast that she had seen a centaur herding other animals.  

 Going over to Africa, a centaur was reported from Maru in Nigeria.  It was said to be chasing women.  It differed from other centaurs in that it had zebrine stripes from the neck down.  A report on this creature was carried by the Nigerian News Agency in 2003.

 I would have thought that there would be strong objections to the possible existence of centaurs on physiological grounds.  However, we should not assume that, because a creature seems a physical impossibility that it is one.  There may be peculiar internal parts of a centaur that make it viable.
