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.

MONSTER RATS

Huge rats seem to be making it into the news these days.  In Chicago, a gigantic rat was videoed crossing four lanes of traffic recently.  In Europe, a gigantic rat called "Ratzilla" was killed in Stockholm (Sweden).  Another specimen, two feet long, was trapped in Dublin (Ireland).  Rats between three and four feet long have been reported from Halle (Germany).  In Birmingham (England) a population of huge rats seems to be running amok.  Some are said to be the size of small cats.  With summer coming in in the Northern Hemisphere, more rats will be seen.  Dr Robin Allaby (Warrington University) said that as rats have more access to waste food, this is probably the cause of their growth in size.
