Florida Alligator Alert

[Avant-Garde-Aclue]

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 : Alachua, Marion, Lake, Collier,
Lee, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Brevard, Putnam and Orange counties.
~
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.

I saw the same story but it was describing the differences between black bears and Grisly bears.
