A Texas lake that turned blood-red this summer may not be a sign of the End Times, but probably is the end of a popular fishing and recreation spot.
A drought has left the OC Fisher Reservoir in San Angelo State Park in West Texas almost entirely dry. The water that is left is stagnant, full of dead fish — and a deep, opaque red.
The color has some apocalypse believers suggesting that OC Fisher is an early sign of the end of the world, but Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries officials say the bloody look is the result of Chromatiaceae bacteria, which thrive in oxygen-deprived water.
"It's just heartbreaking," said Charles Cruz, a fish and wildlife technician with Texas Parks and Wildlife in San Angelo, Tex.
湖泊变红—世界末日
美国德州一个湖泊突然变成红色，令民众惊讶，咸认世界末日来临。
德州东部山安则罗公园一个储水湖，经长旱几乎无水，留下满池死鱼。
对于民众散播世界末日的谣言，德州公园与野生内陆鱼业署官员说，湖水变红，纯是细菌造成。
