A Florida man is offering entertainment
with a difference for children's parties - swimming with alligators.
For £100, Bob Barrett, from Tampa Bay,
takes an alligator to people's backyard pools to swim with their children.
"It just took off like
wildfire," he told the Tampa Bay
Times. "Everybody loves having the gator pool parties."
Mr Barrett, who runs the local Alligator
Attraction, came up with the idea during the summer when business was slow.
"If you're nine, ten or 11 years
old, you've already had the 'jumparoo' house, the bounce house, you've had the
pizza party, you've had the clown party," he said.
"You get to have a pool party with a
gator. It's a very popular party."
Mr Barrett tapes the alligators' mouths
shut before the parties which he insists are safe.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission confirmed he isn't doing anything illegal, but added:
"We will say that this is not something that we encourage."
