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.

PARTRIDGE CREEK BEAST

In 1903 - somewhat before my time - a creature that looked like a dinosaur was spotted by trackers in the Yukon in a gulch called Partridge Creek.  The party included a Jesuit called Lavagneux and they discerned a huge beast, about 50' in height, scaling a ravine.  Its skin was gray-black and it had a horn on i ts nose. Lavagneux reckoned it was a ceratosaurus.  On a further occasion, Lavagneux saw it once more, crossing a frozen river, a reindeer clasped in its jaws.

If the creature was indeed a ceratosaurus, this would indicate that such dinosaurs had warm blood to survive the rigors of the Canadian climate.
