Gatorland is one of my Christmas Traditions (I live in MA) and although they play up the “bubba” aspect of it with folksy signs and animal handlers in overalls, they are doing some great work with taking in wildlife and rehabbing it-and keeping in big-ass gators who have learned that dogs and humans are food.

We figured it was a dare on who was the biggest alien bad@$$, "No suh, you won't go to the ACID planet, man!" (perhaps the aliens from Heavy Meta proposed it...)

Just want to say I have a similar list and loved these.
