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.

ULAR TEDONG

This is a lake monster supposed to be in the lake Tasek Bara in Malaysia.  Happily, it is not supposed to be dangerous to humans.  No one seems to have seen this water creature in its entirety.  The head looks like that of a snake with snail-like horns.  When young, its scales have a slaye gray color,  but, as the years pass, they turn to golden.  It will bellow occasionally.  A similar creature has been reported from another Malaysian lake, Tasek Chini.
