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.

TIGERS IN GEORGIA

The Georgia concerned is the one in the United States.  In fact, there are more tigers held in captivity in the USA than there are wild tigers in India.  As early as 1840 one James I. Inman killed what was very probably a tiger.  He had known it was in the area and had craftily concealed himself in a mulberry tree, from which he had shot the hapless beast.  

     This was not the only such attack in Georgia.  Others may be found in David Weatherly's book Peach State Monsters.
