The sinkhole opened in an undeveloped section of the zoo. Officials do not know if it the sinkhole could have been caused by an earthquake in Tennessee.
The Louisville Zoo has spent thousands on a sinkhole about as wide as a football field, but still hasn't settled on a long-term plan for the problem.
The owner of the Mega Caverns and Louisville Underground, Jim Lowry, is now suing the zoo — but the city, too, has threatened to sue Mega Caverns.
