okay, since beth remarked about the alligators
Subject: ALLIGATOR WARNING!!!
Due to the extreme drought in Florida, the following caution was
issued:
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 Bay, 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.
