Now That’s A Huge Cave

Posted Feb 21st, 2006 at 2:20 pm in Nature

LiveScience reports on the discovery of a huge cave in Venezuela.

Cave of the Ghost

It’s actually not a cave, but a gorge that was sealed off on top by collapsing in on itself. Just how big is it? Big enough that if you look closely in the picture above, those are not one, but two helicopters that have landed inside.

As an added bonus, scientists also discovered a new species of poison arrow frog.

    Hugo Chavez can hide there next time Pat Robertson comes after him.

    Is it possible to buy it? I mean the whole cave is the perfect place for a grouchy hermit like me. It has poison frogs as a first line of defence and everything. Magnificent!

    Zorgo, my mutant cat and lab assistant says the giant spider is bitching about accomodations again. Dog! Hand me the taser, we’re moving!
