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.

DWARF DRAGON

The dwarf dragon is a creature of German folklore.  They were ssupposed to have, long ago, been kept as household pets.  They were handy for lighting fires.  They throve in the vicinity of Heidelberg.  Only the males could fly.  The females liked water and would come down to the River Neckar.

 Aldrovandus examined what might have been such a creature which was killed by an Italian farmer in 1572.  He judged it to be a juvenile.
