Capturing an Orang Pendek

There are a couple of new Mysterious Universe articles from me.

The first is on why I think Sumatra's resident, mysterious ape - the Orang Pendek - will likely be identified in the next years...

The second is a profile on a certain, infamous, Puerto Rican monster. Nope, not the Chupacabra, but the Moca Vampire...

Animals & Men Issue 51

Just a couple of days ago, I received a copy of the new issue (No. 51) of the Center for Fortean Zoology's in-house magazine Animals & Men. As always it's an excellent issue, and professionally published, with a full-color, glossy, card cover and dozens of interior, color photos too.

Highlights of the new issue (which runs to 50 pages) include:

1. A round-up of cryptozoological news;
2. An article on the recent CFZ expedition to Tasmania, in search of surviving Thylacines;
3. A feature on the latest CFZ quest to find the Orang Pendek of Sumatra;
4. A review of the CFZ's latest Weird Weekend conference;
5. Various book reviews;
6. And Corinna Downes' Watcher of the Skies column.

If all of that has got you interested in subscribing to the magazine, contact the editor (and CFZ head-honcho) Jon Downes right here.
