The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) is a professional and scientific organisation dedicated to cryptozoology: The study of unknown animals and allied disciplines. Since 1992, we have carried out extensive research into mystery animals and animal mysteries around the globe. We produce a weekly WebTV show called On The Track (OTT), which covers Cryptozoology, Natural History and Green Issues, all mixed with a little light (and often peculiar) comedy. We also operate our own publishing house, producing both magazines and books on subjects that would otherwise not see the light of dayThe Centre For Fortean Zoology Yearbook is a collection of papers and essays too long and detailed for publication in the CFZ Journal Animals & Men. With contributions from both well-known researchers, and relative newcomers to the field, the Yearbook provides a forum where new theories can be expounded, and work on little-known cryptids discussed.

Odette Tchernine (c.¿1897-1992) was a British author, cryptozoologist, novelist and journalist. She was born in Paris to a Russian financier father, Dimitri Tchernine (Dmitry Chernin), and a French mother, Yvonne, from Toulouse. She grew up in Kensington and had a younger brother, Serge Tchernine. Odette Tchernine is best known for writing several books on the abominable snowman or yeti, such as In Pursuit of the Abominable Snowman, Taplinger Publishing, (1971). Before 'In Pursuit', she published The Snowman and Company. Initially a socialite and novelist, she earned a reputation from the 1950s through the 1970s "as one of Britain's most formidable monster hunters." This is her hitherto unpublished third cryptozoological book. In 'ALIVE...The Missing Link' Odette brings together evidence of bigfoot (and its counterparts) in an effort to encourage researchers and explorers to keep looking for the missing link between these mysterious beasts and the human race.Odette believed (and many others do too) that this link in human history to bigfoot has been either ignored or covered up for a very long time and she wanted to bring it out into the light of day, have it investigated, researched, and discussed as commonly as one would with any other branches of the 'tree' but was unfortunately unsuccessful before her passing in 1992.In her book, she highlights the difficulties in doing this from a political, moral and financial viewpoint but reminds the reader of the importance of keeping their mind open to every possibility and to keep fighting to find the truth.She also coins a new phrase in 'Anthropo-zoology' which she very much hoped would become a common term, to describe the study and research, to prove a biological link exists between bigfoot and humans. She believed some research had started to be taken seriously by a very select few individuals, but no serious research had been done since the 1970s. It has been the work of 'Fringe science' to investigate unexplained phenomena for centuries and she longed for this type of research to become more mainstream.We hope the publishing of this lost manuscript will help reignite the flame under this research and finally be able to prove that these incredible beasts are not just a cryptid hidden in the trees but perhaps distant cousins of ours or even much closer on the family tree than we think...Guin Palmer, the Assistant Director of the Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ), worked diligently on the manuscript which turned up in a North Devon Auction House. It was purchased accidentally by someone who - serendipitously - knew one of the senior members of the CFZ to whom he subsequently sold it.She also amassed a collection of reference material appertaining to Odette which can be found at this address: https://cfz.org.uk/more/odette-tchernine/

"The Mystery Animals of the British Isles" is a major series from the publishing arm of the world's largest mystery animals research organization. The series covers Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland mostly on a county-by-county basis, describing the mystery animals of the entire island group.

This is a remarkable book told from a unique perspective. Damon Corrie is a hereditary chief of the Eagle Clan, of the Arawak Tribe based mostly in Guyana. He has made a lifelong study of the mystery animals and animal folklore of his people, and we believe that this is the first time that these remarkable accounts have been collected together in a single volume. On top of that, the CFZ's very own Richard Freeman has added a number of appendices describing the expedition that he and Damon went on back in 2007. We heartily recommend this new volume to anybody interested in the mysteries of South America, and the mythology which shapes the people who still live there.
