This for all of you that have to travel to or have homes in Florida...
*******************************************************************
Attention --- Attention
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.
