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.

BEAST OF DERRYLAHAN

This is a rather strange creature which was reported from Ireland. The Nenagh Guardian tells us that in 1898 there was in Roscommon a strange beast.  It looked like a pig, but was bigger and had a shaggy red coat.  It appears to have taken up residence on the farm of a man named Bennett.  Two dogs were set on it, but it terrified them.  They both ran for home and refused food until the next day.  I have discovered nothing further about this peculiar animal.
