Britain's 'Big Cat X Files' Revealed Telegraph
There have been more than 100 sightings of exotic and unidentified animals in England since 2005, according to Natural England, a government agency responsible for investigating such incidents. Of these, 38 were "big cats" reports. Though their investigations have yet to find conclusive proof of the presence of the mysterious creatures, they show the extent to which Natural England takes the reports seriously. Other reported animals include 14 coypus, a large South American rodent; 28 wild boar; and 2 cases of raccoon dogs, which are native to Asia and Russia. Elsewhere, we have an noted Englishman on expedition after the Texas blue dog in The Texas Chupacabras Y’all and a media report on a previously reported cryptid sighting in Maine: Coleman dubs new sighting 'Leeds Loki'.
"Professional Suicide" Oregon Bigfoot Blog
In this blog post and series of videos, Autumn Williams presents her case for leaving the field of Bigfoot research. Her long diatribe on the ills of Bigfoot research ends with Williams revealing that she no longer desires to be known as a Bigfoot researcher and that she will reveal her anecdotal evidence in a book. But is there something more personal involved? The blogosphere comments in OK....So You're Writing A Book and Story Telling and Dramatics in Bigfootery?

The Bulgarian 'Loch Ness Monster' Sofia News Agency
The Belogradchik Municipality wants to add another world-class tourist attraction (after its miraculous rock formations and the prehistoric Magurata Cave paintings) to its portfolio: the Monster of the Rabisha Lake. There are various legends about this lake monster, the most “credible” one dating back to the 18th century. What it describes is no dinosaur, however. It's more of a minotaur. The Rabisha Lake Monster, the so called Water Bull, has the head of a bull, the body of giant strong man, and the tale of fish. Could the legends have grown out of the real water monsters in the lake -– the gigantic wels catfish that have been caught there? Elsewhere, the question is asked: Is This a Chupacabra? The answer is: no, it's a raccoon with a very bad case of mange.
The Moha Moha Cryptozoology Online
Dale Drinnon revives the tale of a curious marine animal supposedly sighted in 1890 by a schoolteacher in Australia. Though the schoolteacher had other sightings of less anomalous creatures that went unquestioned, this sighting drew many skeptical charges. Was the moha moha a real beast? With images.

Does Bigfoot Have a Bone in Its Penis? Cryptomundo
Either Loren Coleman is attempting to inject even more science into his stellar blog posts on all things cryptid, or it's ratings week. Whatever the case, here are the comments of Dr. Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, as he carries on a discussion with California registered nurse Bobbie Shortt. The exchanges that led up to the revelations by Dr. Meldrum, with diagrams, are linked in the post to bring you up to speed on the subject. A relevant question that appears to be only hinted at in the exchange is whether or not Neandertal Man had a bone in his penis? Elsewhere, an expedition is getting underway to ferret out information on the "Texas Blue Dogs," also known as the "Texas Chupacabras," and Nick Redfern has an update in CFZ in the USA.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Infrasound The Blogsquatcher
The Blogsquatcher shares some firsthand experiences in the search for the elusive manlike creature many people report having encountered around North America. One of the notable effects of a Bigfoot encounter is under review in this report, the effect referred to as "infrasound," the supposed ability of Bigfoot to project various sensations to witnesses, often clouding the witnesses abilities to make any sense of what's happening due to such things as overpowering sensations that don't seem to account well with the level of the encounter. Does Bigfoot have an ability to affect the mind and the sensations of witnesses? Elsewhere, Craig Heinselman of Peterborough, NH, is called on to serve as the guest blogger at Cryptomundo and offers up a look at the strange creatures that are reported from the northeastern corner of the United States in Maine Cryptids.

Mike Dash revives one of his favorite tales of Forteana, which, as a proud Welshman, he posted yesterday, March 1, in honor of St. David's Day, the national day of Wales. The tale Dash brings up from the archives of Fortean Times appeared in 1987, but it referred to an occurrence said to have happened in Wales in 1928. Were there dragons in Wales in those days? Elsewhere, Lindsay Selby resurrects a newsclipping about A Skeggy Sea Monster and reports on a A Lake Creature in Michigan, while Dale Drinnon writes about The Ugly Mermen.

The Monsters of Prague (Part Seven) Cryptozoology Online
Richard Freeman continues a series on the unprecedented number of monster and strange beast tales that have originated in the ancient city of Prague. This time out, Freeman concentrates on the tale of a successful spiritualist, well-known in his day, who teamed up with a medium in an effort to conjure up one of the most fascinating beasts of legend. Did the pair manage to bring forth a unicorn? Key quote: "The unicorn has not been seen in recent years." The unicorn isn't the only legendary beast making today's news, though, as we see in Mike Dash's retelling of The Strange Tale of the Warsaw Basilisk. Elsewhere, perhaps emulating Teddy Roosevelt, Loren Coleman is on the lookout for Vermont's Old Slipperyfoot? Meanwhile, a very entertaining short video series celebrates an important milestone for the Centre for Fortean Zoology with reports on the Texas "Blue Dogs," Britain's unexpected avian visitors and more, as seen in On the Track - Episode 30. And Glenn Vaudrey has a remembrance of a North American bird that once blotted out the skies with its vast numbers, but now is seen no more, in Another Visit to the Savage World.

Fish Fall at Lajamanu Cryptomundo
A truly Fortean event in an Australian town has Loren Coleman posting the news story as it originally appeared, along with images and a segment of the television program "Animal X" showing other incidents from around the world where similar events have occurred. So what's the explanation for fish and other animals falling from the sky? Elsewhere, tales so bizarre they entered the realm of the Fortean are covered in a review by Sean Casteel that you'll find in Exploring the "Hidden World" Series of Richard Shaver: Giving Evil a New Name.

Lindsay Selby: The Searle Photographs Cryptozoology Online
The creature that is arguably the most famous cryptid in the world is featured in photographs from a book "taken out of circulation because of allegations of plagiarism". The book was the work of Frank Searle, one of the many curious characters who've peopled the Loch Ness scene searching for Nessie since the 1920s. Here Lindsay Selby shares photos from the scarce Searle book with some background on the photographer himself. And continuing the story of the creature that made Loch Ness famous, Selby offers Loch Ness Migration. Could the Loch Ness Monster or a similar creature be moving through a waterway near you? Elsewhere, Paul Dale Roberts slips on his waders, gathers some equipment, contacts Shannon McCabe for backup and goes in search of the Laguna Creek Wetlands Salamander.
Russian Newspaper Publishes Canadian "Bigfoot" Photo Ghost Theory
Javier Ortega presents the photo and English translation of a Russian newspaper account provided by a Canadian cryptozoologist who claims the photo shows an adult Bigfoot peeking from some foliage not far from the ongoing events of the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. What do you see? The Blogsquatcher also has commentary on the photo in The Face of Bigfoot, and Other Sundries.... And in another report Ortega reviews the phenomenon that seems to have its origins in Puerto Rico and migrated to the United States and down through the Central and South American countries, as you'll see in 10 Year Chupacabras Study: DNA Unknown. Elsewhere, Nick Redfern has a programming note in Chupacabras TV. Meanwhile, Loren Coleman announces a new addition to the International Cryptozoology Museum in Paranthropus at ICM and looks for some support in The Zorgys: Vote Cryptomundo and Vote Often & Often for Cryptozoology Museum.

Following the lead presented in a recent post at The Blogsquatcher that discussed electromagnetic effects that are common to both Bigfoot and UFO reports, Greg Bishop asks, "Doesn't it seem a bit odd that two things that are considered so dissimilar could have the same effects associated with them?" Then Bishop proceeds to add more to the discussion, saying the apparent electromagnetic effects of the two disparate phenomena could be an "epiphenomenon of the forces at work when something strange is experienced". Could it be that the observer influences what is being observed just by the act of observing?

Man-eater or Only Killer? Cryptozoology Online
Not all unknown lifeforms inhabiting Earth are animals; some are from the plant world, fitting into a cryptobotany mold instead of cryptozoology. Such is the subject covered here by Ivan Mackerle as he calls on historical accounts that seem to have originated in the late years of the 19th century and still persist today. Mackerle describes what has been reported about Madagascar's man-eating trees in the past and describes his own dangerous quest to find these mysterious trees. Meanwhile, some commentary is generated by a 'Giant' Anaconda Picture that probably owes its supposed gargantuan size to the nearness of the camera, and Lindsay Selby points out how a 1993 sighting of one of the world's most famous cryptids differs from other reports of the creature in Nessie Sighting?
From today's maverick science reports: Robin McKie joins the science writers who have lately given time to the amazing discovery of the little people who once inhabited the Indonesian island of Flores. What do the remains of this diminutive human tell us about how today's humans have evolved? Meanwhile, there's a planetary mystery between the Earth and Mercury, and that mystery hasn't been solved despite several space missions in search of answers. The question remains, if Venus was formed from the accretion disk that formed the rest of our Solar System, why is it so different? Perhaps we should listen closer to what ancient stargazers had to say about Venus, as reported by Stephen Smith in Venus: Flame Broiled Pressure Cooker.

When Bigfoot Gets in Your Head: Telepathy, Dreams & Channelers The Blogsquatcher
A Pennsylvania trip with a companion in 2005 to follow up on a possible Bigfoot incident leads to a dream that was unlike any other dream he'd ever had, according to The Blogsquatcher. And that leads to this lengthy examination of reports about telepathic ability among Bigfoots, with several reports of such activity. Does Bigfoot possess the ability to put thoughts into the minds of those who get close to him or actually walk up on him? Did a nearby Bigfoot project thoughts that formed the dream The Blogsquatcher had in a tent on a rainy night in the Pennsylvania woods? Elsewhere, Lindsay Selby talks about things that go splash in the lake in Eels As Monsters.

Madagascar's Elusive Mega-Lemurs and Mini-Men ShukerNature
Dr. Karl Shuker discusses the curious fauna of the island of Madagascar off Africa's eastern coast. The island's isolation from mainland Africa is often cited as the reason for its diverse population of animals found nowhere else, but the fossil record and aboriginal legends hint at even more mysterious animals, and there are still claims that megafaunal creatures, believed to be extinct, are alive on the island. With images. Meanwhile, a new photo has emerged of what appears to be a lake monster in Pennsylvania, as reported by Lon Strickler at Phantoms & Monsters in Followup: 'Raystown Ray' Sightings - Raystown Lake PA, with photos and a report of an August 29, 2009, sighting.

Bush Blitz to Discover New Species Cryptomundo
There's big cryptozoology news from the Land Down Under, although the Australian government and BHP Billiton, a mining company, which are jointly funding an upcoming all-out-effort to comb the brush and billabongs of Australia haven't mentioned the animals cryptozoologists would no doubt most like to see corralled by the effort. Previously unknown "biological treasures" are the goal of the 10-12 scientists and volunteers which will undertake the 18 month search of the continents reserve areas for new species. Will the Yowie or the black panthers, both reported around the continent, be rounded up in this effort? Meanwhile Loren Coleman makes the claim No, Alexander the Great Did Not Fight Yetis. Elsewhere, Nick Redfern gives a shout out for a fellow countryman, Neil Arnold, in Cat-Blogging.

The Giant Anaconda Cryptozoology Online
Lindsay Selby revisits tales of Sucuri Gigante, the legendary giant anaconda of South America. Selby relates many of the reports collected through the years of sightings, captures and killings of the giant reptiles, including the famous account of famed British explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett in which Fawcett claimed to have killed a specimen measuring 62 feet in length. Woven into these tales of giant snakes are accounts of what appear to be very large glowing orbs in the waters of South America that are believed to be the eyes of the Sucuri Gigante. Meanwhile, a small family of hairless blue canines could become part of the first Centre for Fortean Zoology expedition of the year, as described in Richie and Naomi West: CFZ Expedition to Texas. With photo. Elsewhere, a creature peculiar to Ohio could become a star if things pan out for a new motion picture, as reviewed in The Legend of Grassman Brings Ohio Sasquatchploitation. With video trailer.
