A Chupacabras Study

Regan Lee alerts us to a new article she has just posted on-line that details the results of an extensive study into that most-mysterious of all unknown critters: The Chupacabras.

The CFZ's Texas representative Naomi West has sent us some cool footage that her husband, Richie, took showing an amazing number of vultures congregating in the skies near their home recently. Check it out!

WHAT IS CRYPTO SQUAD USA?

Well, that's a very good question!

No, Crypto Squad USA is not a bunch of super-heroes - but they are pretty close!

Established in 1992 by Jonathan Downes, the Center for Fortean Zoology is the world's largest group dedicated to the study of unknown animals.

When I moved to the US to live in 2001, Jon asked me to take on the task of opening, running, and coordinating a US office of the CFZ - which I was pleased to do!

But, as CFZ-USA began to grow, it quickly became apparent that regional representatives were needed to cope with the huge amount of field-work and investigations that were required.

So, that's precisely what Crypto Squad USA is: namely, 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.

And you'll get to learn all about those same people and their work right here. Enjoy!

Also: if you're interested in becoming a regional investigator for the US Office of the CFZ, let me know! We're always looking to get new people involved.
