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.

MIGOI - ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN OF BHUTAN

Migoi is the term used for the Abominable Snowman in Bhutan.  There it is to be found at an altitude of 3500-5000 meters.  It has a hairless face and red/brown to black/gray hair.  Migois are generally seen singly or in couples.  The Migoi does not fear fire, it is herbivorous, it will attack humans but is also curious about them.  Migois live in caves in which they build nests.  The Migoi can make itself visible or invisible at will, it is said, because it has a magic charm called a dipshing which it keeps under its right arm.  The dipshing, I can inform those on the lookout for one, resembles a twig.  The Migoi is also called a gredpo.
