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.

SOME HUMAN-CRYPTID HYBRIDS

Near Dhading, Nepal, is supposed to live a population of mixed human-yeti descent.  According to the story, in 1917 a boy was captured by a female yeti and these are their descendants. 


The Indlovu clan of the Zulus, whence sprang their greatest chiefs, claim descent from a female human who mated with an elephant.  The story starts with a rather plump Zulu woman who met a friendly and courteous elephant.  I rather suspect that the story evolved from the name of the clan, rather than vice versa.


In the Mongolian monastery of  Lamyn Hegen, there had been a very learned and intelligent lama known as "Son of the Almas".  His father had been captured by some almas and fathered a child on one of them.  When he escaped from the group, he took the child with him.  The information came from an old Mongolian named Gendun, whose father had been a contemporary of the lama in question.  (O. Tchernine The Yeti London, 1997)


A woman in China claimed she had been kidnapped by a wildman which had made her pregnant.  A video of the supposed hybrid, now grown up, showed a male with a small head and caudal appendage.  He could not speak.  (Taiwan World Journal, October 11th, 1997).
