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.
OCTIPOS
No, that isn't a misspelling of octopus. This is the name given by C. Rafinesque (1783-1840) to a strange creature seen in the Atlantic in 1818. Its head was 2 feet in length and its body a further 56 feet. It had 8 gills. Its head and neck stuck out of the water. Rafinesque thought another creature reported from the Atlantic might be a type of octipos.
