Indeed, Georgia (especially this part of it) is known worldwide for its huge abundance of ridiculously extensive cavern systems. Some of the longest caves in the world, largest ballrooms, and highest domes are there. It all has to do with the bedrock geology, wherever you get country rock that is easily dissolved with water, you end up with this sort of thing. Where it’s limestone-based, it’s called “karst.” And yes, one of the more common things to find in old mines and caves is long-dead critters…. Sadly, even more commonly than un-stolen mining artifacts or intact and geologically notable cave features. Fortunately, though, finding a dead human is MUCH more rare. Usually either those are found and removed pretty quickly, or they’re unrecoverable and are never returned to the surface. Only very rarely does someone just stumble across a human corpse, which is certainly a very good thing.

[@Sirshackleton]

I agree. What is weird is that they hardly ever find bones in theses things.

I recommend you bring a portable gas detector with you when visiting not well known caves. Could save your life one day

[@trollman88889]

I was jut gonna say, toxic gas in these tunnels isn't too uncommon

[@telemnor]

You're right, it can be very dangerous, especially during hot monthes where the cold air is trapped in the hole and very few outside air come in. During winter, the outside air usually ventilates large cavities like this one quite well. It's even worse if there are biological wastes like in this case (dead leaves, animal carcasses etc), CO2 can be produced in large quantity and since it's heavier than air it can form a "pool" at the bottom. If you enter this pool, you could pass out and die in a few minutes without realizing it.

[@thescratchychannel]

Also bringing some high visibility string and stringing it throughout the cave as they discover would probably be a good idea. You can unstring it as you come back, but cave formations can look a lot alike eachother and you can find yourself lost quite easily.

[@Reevin]

I was looking the see if someone mentioned this

This cave is a cave definitely worth revisiting. It is a shame to see so many skeletons of animals who have long since passed away due to having gotten trapped down there. At least with small animals like that frog and the snake is that... They'll probably be lucky enough to continue living for awhile longer off of any bugs that wind up falling down too. Either way, the snek was adorable to see.

[@TheSpongiform]

That frog could climb out no problem but that ring neck snake was most likely trapped unless there was another way out. They're not very good climbers.

[@joshlewis8860]

Well, you can at least rest assured the larger animals didn’t suffer long. That was a straight fall a long way

[@mynamesjudge]

Those small animals and insects aren't just falling down there, that's where they live. All that leaf litter and detritus is filled with insects. It may not be an ecosystem that most people are familiar with but it's an ecosystem like any other.

[@cu1tc1assic]

There seems to be a pretty steady supply of biomass falling down, im sure a cave like this has creatures that live in it year round, like the snake.

[@grugnotice7746]

I've often had dreams where I have had a large water leak that has gone unnoticed for a long time to form something like this on my property. Sometimes a cave, other times an underground river that finally collapsed the ground over the top of it. That and another popular one is finding an old room that was sealed off behind a false wall or a guesthouse that I either used to use or had forgotten about. My favorite was finding the giant industrial basement that was at least ten stories deep completely lined with concrete. Steel ladders, concrete steps, the works. I bet I'll have a dream like that tonight.

@@Shawn-yp9ic It could be a lot of work though, depending on how much dirt needs to be removed.

You also might want to adjust the descent route to prevent excessive foot traffic over the pretty flowstone.

[@Shawn-yp9ic]

@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 I'm not knowledgeable or experienced in dirt digging but I would hope to avoid pulling all that dirt up and out if I could. That was a long way up from the pit. Maybe if it was done right and you waited for a real heavy rain you could get the dirt to wash down and out with out plugging it up again, remove hand size and larger rocks. Also before completely excavating it to man size hole I'd consider digging it out enough to work a camera into the passage and try to determine if whatever opening that might be there is one that can be made big enough for a person from dirt removal. It may be that the rock passage has a constriction that is too small for an adult to get through and Id want to know that before digging too far. But I agree, could be a massive cave that opens up just beyond the mud clog. Worth checking.
