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.

RHINOCEROS

The rhinoceros continues to be in danger from poachers.  They want its horn, which in certain countries is regarded as an aphrodisiac.  (It isn't).  The amount of poaching has become seriously out of hand, and nowadays a rhino is killed on average every eight hours in South Africa.  I feel the only way now to stop the extinction of the rhino is by captive breeding.

 Elephants are in danger also.  I have mentioned the threat ivory poachers are causing before in this blog.   Appalling numbers of these noble animals are being killed.  Don't buy ivory.
