ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 5 (UPI) -- The owner of a Florida farm featuring every species of alligator and crocodile said he is installing a zip line for tourists to travel above the reptiles.
Scott Brown of the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine said the zip line will be part of a seven-acre obstacle course at the attraction designed to give visitors a unique view of the animals below, WJXT-TV, Jacksonville, reported Friday.
"It's all about getting up in the trees and in nature," Brown said. "It's the closest thing you'll get to Tarzan or George of the Jungle."
Brown said the zip line is expected to be completed and opened to the public in March.
