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.

SHORT NOTES ON CRYPTIDS


URUTURANGWE

This cryptid is one you don't want to meet unprepared.  It is said to be found in Rwanda.  Its fur is said to look like  that of a hyena, but it generally resembles a leopard.  It is said to suffocate people by putting its open mouth over their faces. 


COROMANDEL MAN

A hairy creature, perhaps some sort of ape, reported from the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand.  One suggestion made is that it is a gorilla which escaped frpm a ship.


COMEGOLLOS

A man-sized hairy humanoid reported from Puerto Rico towards the end of the 20th Century.  It is said to be nocturnal and to eat the hearts of plantain trees, but not the food itself.


FORLI REPTILE

An animal 15 feet long allegedly attacked a man near Forli, Italy, in 1970/  He compared it with a dinosaur.  The legs were said to be thick and the breath very hot.


HVOKO CAPKO

An animal in the lore of the Seminole Indians.  It is not unlike a horse, though its head is wolflike.  Its ears are long.  It is colored gray and is about 3 feet high/
