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.

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that one third of people who own exotic pets in Ohio don't have a permit?  Well, you know now.

SAN JUAN GARGOYLE

We're off to Puerto Rico once more, this time to give some account of a creature described as a Gargoyle, seen in San Juan.  This creature was described as a 5' humanoid with wings.  It had a fight with a policeman, when discovered eating a rat.  (It was the Gargoyle, not the Policeman, eating the rat).  It had wings and escaped by flying.

This encounter allegedly occurred in 1995.  I am always surprised by the number of strange creatures turning up in Puerto Rican lore.  Is anyone doing genetic experimentation there?
