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.

CANVEY ISLAND MONSTER

This creature turns up in cryptid works from time to time.  It was a strange creature, in a state of rotting decay, which was washed up on Canvey Island in England in 1954.  It was said to be possibly bipedal.  It was 2.5' long.  In 1955 another such creature was found in a better state of preservation.    Its skin was tough like a pig's, it had noticeable gills. large eyes and sharp teeth.  The only authority for the second specimen seems to be F. Edwards Stranger Than Science (1959).  However, M. Goss has examined contemporary sources and photographs and suggested, with much plausibility, that the creatures were decomposing fish.
