Enormous New Zealand Sinkhole to Be Fenced in So Cows Aren't Swallowed Up

While rounding up cows before the crack of dawn last week, a New Zealand farm worker happened upon a gaping gouge in the earth as long as two football fields, according to AP News. It seems to have appeared overnight.

The farm manager, Colin Tremain — who woke up with a hole in his field that could hold a six-story building — is making plans to surround the giant sinkhole with fences so it doesn't swallow any cows, according to AP News and CNN. Meanwhile, volcanologists are peering inside for clues to a volcano's past.

That would hide a lot of cows.

That doesn't look like a sinkhole, that looks like a crack.

Cracks have been appearing around the world.

At least the Bermuda grass root was unaffected.
