Just rec'vd this in my e-mail today......

The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, golfers and tourist in general to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while in Florida. They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their shoes or 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 learn to 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 alligator droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

OMG 3loves that was hilarious!!! You had me going since i live in Florida. I was hoping there was good info there. All I kept thinking through the post is "wouldn't those attract a gator?" LOL

Too funny, and I believed it until the end...well perhaps the ending isn't that far off

pepper spray. nothing like preseasoning a gator's meal. LOL

I first heard it a few yrs ago only it was hiking in the mountains of Colorado, wyoming or Montana and the animal was a bear. Ever wonder if we taste as good to the alligator and alligator tastes to us?

Ha ha ha.... this was cute!

Actually, its not far from truth in my neck of the bayou... yikes!
