SUNFISH -MORA MORA -X-RAY HELPS TO DIS PLAY
A rare sunfish caught in 1877 in ex estuary waas x-rayed at the royal devon and exeter hospital,devon.This was due to a large piece of wire inserted and the royal alert mermorial muesuem and art gallery,exeter in order to conserve the specimen.When the wire was found it can be carefully be removed at r.a.mm.The sunfifh -mora mora-is found in tropical and temperate oceans and in 1877 very rare although the species can be found off south west coast posibly due to climate change.
EMILY TAYLOR: interviewed by Mark Antony Raines
I've always enjoyed
learning about, and love animals.
Since Jon and the crew are involved in all of that, I wanted to help out in some way. I helped with the making of Jon's film about wild big cats around the countryside as well as helping him with other little bits of voice overs et.
I've already moved on and got a job, but learning what I did has always been useful. What I continue to learn from my visits to the CFZ I am sure will always be useful and interesting.
To be honest I haven't really thought about my plans for the future I tend to take each day or week as it comes. It all depends on what life leads me too.

CARL MARSHALL: interviewed by Mark Antony Raines
I would have to say the biggest inspiration to me is my father, as it
is he who first inspired me as a child to develop an interest in the
animal kingdom - my father was a Taxidermist for 50 years and is a
brilliant naturalist, and even as an adult he consistently
amazes me with what he knows, often informing me of something I was
previously unaware of - usually something ornithogical. As for my interest in Cryptozoology I would have to say it was
reading the works of Bernard Heuvelmans, Karl Shuker and then later, Jonathan Downes.
My long term aims are to continue working in zoology at Stratford upon Avon Butterfly Farm and
to continue my travels searching for species of interest, and to seek
out and document any cryptozoological reports along the way.
After my next Borneo expedition in November - investigating
claims of 10 metre+ reticulated pythons, I will be seriously considering
trips to both Sumatra - mainly in search of its "forgotten Ape", the
orang pendek -and to Tazmania for any credible evidence
of surviving thylacines.

SHAMPOO ENDANGERS ANIMALS.
It is sad to see this article that due to the usage of palm oil in head and shoulders shampoo,shaving cream is putting ORANGUTAN, S, SUMATRAN TIGERS at risk. This is from a GREENPEACE investigation into INDONESIAN RAINFOREST.The companies bwplantation,klk,musim MAs are also mentioned in report.Head and shoulders company proctor and gamble (its palm oil will be sustainably sourced by next year.)
DISABLED DOG -ASH-ENJOYS LIFE.
Unlike most dogs 14 years old ASH-PEDIGEE LABRADOR uses a specially adapted chariot to enjoy exercise. 3 years ago ASH was diagnosed with SPONDYLIT-type of chronic condition which affects the spine, chronic including the bones, muscles and ligaments. It is good to see that his
disabilities have not affected his life.

Number 1: WHAT INSPIRED YOU,WHAT ARE YOUR AIMS,WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE FUTURE
Actually I was one of the lucky ones, while I was still in elementary school the local library had both Ivan Sanderson's Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life and Tim Dinsdale's Loch Ness Monster both on the shelf and close to one another. My High school library had Heuvelmans' On the track of Unknown Animals as well as several of the source books that Heuvelmans had used and which I could check back on. I grew up in an atmosphere both of accepting such matters and treating them seriously. While I was still in High School I started writing letters to Ivan T Sanderson and he invited me to join the SITU. That was just before he died, and I made several trips to the original SITU Headquarters just after he had died.I basically never had any aims in Cryptozoology beyond letting my voice be heard and my opinions known. I have not had any published books, everything is on the blog still, and it is completely non profit. I have never made a dime out of Cryptozoology and I never intend to. I would advise young people to find some alternate means of income and pursue Cryptozoology as a sideline rather than as a way to make a lot of money, because nobody is ever going to be making a lot of money out of it and continue to remain honest and with a good reputation. For the future, that is rather uncertain because I am finding other more pressing matters are taking up more of my time: animal rights, conservative measures, Environmental activism and political campaigning to have the current destructive system removed. The world is at a perilous point in time and people are going to have to act decisively if they want to keep on living on it. I like Cryptozoology but its not going to save the world.Number
2: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MEDIA'S WAY OF DEALING WITH CRYPTOZOOLOGY SUBJECTS?
In a very real sense Cryptozoology is an outgrowth of the media and the media shapes not only the publi's perception but also the field of Cryptozoology itself, the definitions and categories it uses, and governs how the public thinks of them. Virtually every Cryptid category exists as it was defined by journalists and named by names given by Journalists. They are largely arbitrary and largely misleading. A term such as "Yeti" as used in Cryptozoology has a certain specific meaning which was given to it by Journalists and this does not reflect the Native use of the term at all. Virtually all major Cryptid categories are composites and contain many subcategories of sightings and many equivalent subcategories of sightings from other locations. This can cover many thousands of individual original traditions in the case of something like the Bigfoot, but the categories themselves are prone to collect data which describes different things and which does not belong together. The goal should be to define the categories in terms of Biological species (species specifically and no other category really counts) but the Cryptid categories are not equivalent to actual Linnean species in mant cases. You have different Cryptid categories which contain the same species and then again the larger categories which contain multiple unrelated species in reports that are grouped together. Journalists are largely responsible for the situation. This also makes the entire field awkward in a Scientific sense because when you are confronted with such things they cannot be either wholly confirmed nor wholly denied Scientifically. You cannot say any one category is ever proven or disproven because all of them contain information that is partly real and partly unreal. So the end result is that you have to re-evaluate absolutely everything and pick everything to pieces in pursuit of your real goal, which always should be to determine if you are dealing with any new species unknown to science.For the most part most Cryptozoologists are NOT dealing in Cryptozoology: they are dealing with individuals of species already known to science. And then the new uncatalogued forms included can be only a little different from known species or they can be more different to greater or lesser degrees. It is difficult making any blanket statements about Cryptid categories because the people that generally deal with such matters most often overlook such things. Most Journalists are not Biologists and they tend to make a bigger deal out of more sensationalistic matters. A "Black Panther" sighting might be sensationalistic, but it is of little difference in the Biological sense and none at all in the Cryptozoological sense, because it is an individual out of a known species.
OLDEST BIT OF EARTH
