Bob Barrett, owner of The Alligator Attraction poses with one of his alligators Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012 in Madeira Beach, Fla. Instead of bounce houses and ponies, some Florida parents are opting for more exciting activities at their kid's birthday parties: alligators. Barrett says the parties are totally safe, because the alligators mouths are taped shut. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
