Crater Gets A Gator

In what's likely to be a metaphor for the direction our country is headed, meaning backward toward the paleozoic era, giant potholes fill with reptiles.

Texas sinkhole becomes a lake, home to gator

"DAISETTA, Texas - The giant Texas sinkhole that formed last week is now a lake big enough to become the home of an alligator.
Area residents believe the reptile was washed into the 600-foot-diameter crater by water from surrounding swamps.
Ground water is seeping into the hole, and its exposed walls are about 30 feet high, the Houston Chronicle reported in its online edition on Friday."
