    We continue our studies of spherically symmetric self-similar solutions in the SU(2) sigma model coupled to gravity. For some values of the coupling constant we present numerical evidence for the chaotic solution and the fractal threshold behavior. We explain this phenomenon in terms of horseshoe-like dynamics and heteroclinic intersections.Comment: 25 pages, 17 figure
