Giant sinkhole with a forest inside found in China

[Grim Reaper 6]

A team of Chinese scientists has discovered a giant new sinkhole with a forest at its bottom. The sinkhole is 630 feet (192 meters) deep, according to the Xinhua news agency, deep enough to just swallow St. Louis' Gateway Arch. A team of speleologists and spelunkers rappelled into the sinkhole on Friday (May 6), discovering that there are three cave entrances in the chasm, as well as ancient trees 131 feet (40 m) tall, stretching their branches toward the sunlight that filters through the sinkhole entrance.

The new discovery took place in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, near Ping'e village in the county of Leye, according to Xinhua. Guangxi is known for its fabulous karst formations, which range from sinkholes to rock pillars to natural bridges and have earned the region UNESCO world heritage site designation.

I find this to be utterly fascinating. Hoping to get out there but it is a bit remote.

''Ostriches are whacky-looking creatures at the best of times, but did you know that they’re very closely related to a species of dinosaur dating back to the late Cretaceous period?''

Did you know they have large sharp claw on each foot that they could disembowel you with?

I think the Dinosaur you thinking about is a Velociraptor!

Don't need to be that big when you are a dinosaur descendant ! You are just a natural born killer :

That dam Rooster is a pecker head, and yea I am a Natural Born killer , I have never mentioned this on the forum. However, when my mother became pregnant, according to the doctors I was suppose to have a identical twin, based upon an early ultrasound that was done. However, for some unknown reason my  twin didn’t survive and my mother was told I absorbed it. Well the last ultrasound taken before my twin disappeared showed the twin umbilical cord was wrapped around my twins neck, and a day or so after another ultrasound was taken and the twin was gone and I had increased in size and the had a smile on my face.

Spoiler

So while you didn’t realize it but you were correct, I have been wondering for years what my twin tasted like.
