You May Have To Live in Florida To Appreciate This One
The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, golfers and tourists 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 was just lecturing my mom about walking the (very delicious) maltese by the lake near her house. I was sure they'd both be eaten. Talk about a vacation story for the kids to tell on the first day back to school.
Priceless. And great advice! Thank you for the PSA.
Girl, you are tooooooo much! Love it!!!
Poop that jingles! What a great xmas gift.
And to think people here (Mich)save up for months just to travel all day to vacation in your state...!
Great posting...too funny!
I'm not picking through any alligator droppings to find out if it's an old fella or a spring chicken! LOL
