Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Last one for the day: Alligator Warning DUE TO THE EXTREME DROUGHT IN FLORIDA, THE FOLLOWING CAUTION WAS ISSUED: Alligator Warning The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while in Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Brevard and Orange Counties. They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert, but not startle the alligators unexpectedly. They also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator activity. People should recognize the difference between small young alligator and large adult alligator droppings. Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers. Adult alligators droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 That actually sounds a lot like the bear warnings in these parts. No matter what you do, it seems to be the right thing for some bears and the wrong thing for others.
