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.

GIRAFFES ENDANGERED

A threat to the existence of the Giraffe has been noted.  The population of this animal in the wild has declined by 40%.  Most of the decline seems to have taken place in Eastern and Central Africa.  Things are looking healthier in southern Africa, but it is now estimated that there are only about 100,000 in total.  The main reason for the decline is the encroachment of humans on the creature's habitat.  



The population of Zebra has also declined by about 24%.
