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.

NEW ANIMALS DISCOVERED IN 2021

Have a look at the list.

AMERICA'S BLACK PANTHERS

Where do these Black Panthers spotted in America come from?  Escapees?  Part of a worldwide epidemic whose origin is a mystery?  Perhaps  not.


Could it be that they have always been there, maintaining a low profile?  They are unlikely to be black pumas, which have only been recorded in a solitary isolated case.  But the Indians knew of a black felid, distinct from a puma.  Couls such a thing still be out there?


The Indians spoke of the black Devil Cat, distinct from the puma, but very much to be feared.  It would carry off children.  

In early times in Maine there was said to dwell the Wooleneag, bigger than a wildcat and black in color.

On totem poles in British Columbia there is a depiction of the black How-How, different from the puma.  The Indians assert it still  exists.

Is this the origin of America's Black Panther?  It was always there, but never officially discovered.

WYUNGARE'S MONSTER

If we go back into prehistoric Australia, we learn the story of this particular animal, which sounds very much like a surviving dinosaur.  t was a great reptile that lived "long ago".  Fierce teeth filled its mouth.  While its forelegs were too small to be useful, its hind legs were endowed with huge claws.  Its head could be seen above the trees.  It was killed by the hero Wyungare.
