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.

MAKARA

A kind of Dragon in Indian mythology, generally regarded as water dwelling.  It is thought to have a crocodile's head and legs and a snake's body.  Belief in the creature is found far beyond India itself.  It is sometimes depicted with an antelope's head and legs and a fish's body.  It is the sign of Capricorn in the Hindu zodiac.
