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.

IS THIS AN INDOLENT SHARK?

The Ground Shark is an interesting cryptid.  Most sharks pursue their prey.  You can see them darting through the water - the dangerous ones, that is.  Not so the Ground Shark which, according to local lore, is found in the sea between Timor and Australia.  It is said to be larger than a Great White Shark and another distinguishing feature is its small dorsal fin.  It gets its name from the fact that it does not chase its victims but simply waits on the sea bed for them to turn up.  Then (unless they are sufficiently lithe and limber) it gets them.  Supper is served.
