Center for Fortean Zoology: New Regional US Offices Crypto Squad

For some time now, Nick Redfern has been the go to guy for the Center for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) in the US. Operating as CFZ-USA, Redfern quicky saw the need to divide the research up into regions with someone in each region to investigate the increasing number of reports of strange creatures. Introducing Crypto Squad USA, "a dedicated band of people seeking out all-things strange and monstrous on behalf of the CFZ-USA Office, and making the data available to one and all." Crypto Squad is the new blog for the new venture and serves as a sign-up point for those who would like to become a Crypto Squad USA member. With bios of members and photos. Meanwhile, after twenty years of searching for the source of an odd fish consumed by natives in western Venezuela, scientists literally picked 84 specimens off the vertical rocks flanking a streambed, as explained in Newly Discovered Catfish Species Climbs Rocks.
