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.

CUNNINGHAM HAS SIGHTING

Gary Cunningham has had an exciting sighting of a possible cryptid in Lough Auna, a small lake in County Galway, Ireland.  Gary has been an enthusiastic cryptozoologist for many years, but he didn't expect to have a cryptid sighting himself, but at 10.15 he was on the banks of Lough Auna on Thursday, June 4th, when he discerned a long shape in the lake.  The lake has a number of stories of monsters attached to it, but Gary thought he would hardly see anything strange in its waters.

     But he did.  He made out a long stretch in the distance.  At first he thought it was a line of birds, but then he realised it was one single animal, which he estimated as being 4 to 6 feet in length.  He thought it could have been an otter, but, if so, it was far bigger than Irish specimens of the European otter are supposed to be.  


I have sometimes thought  that large lutrine cryptids may account for tales of the Dobharchu  in Ireland.  It is not impossible that mutants occur which are outsize, but do not constitute a separate species.  Could Gary have seen one of those?


To crown it all, Gary also recently saw a Black Panther, an Alien Big Cat, in Ireland.
