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.

SHELLYCOAT

In Scottish folklore, a creature covered with hair and endowed with hells which clank when it moves.  It is about the size of an otter.  It is said to be bigger out of the water than in.  It is known in the area where England and Scotland meet.  It was said to frequent a rock on the shore above Leith.  The shellycoat was also supposed to be able to fly.  It would never harm a pregnant woman.
