The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers,hunters, fishermen, golfers and tourist in general to take extraprecautions and keep alert for alligators while in Alachua, Martin, Marion, Lake, Collier, Lee, Seminole, Osceola, Polk,Brevard, Putnam, St. Lucie and Orange counties.
They advise people to wear noise-producing devices, such as littlebells on their shoes or clothing to alert but not startle thealligators 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 alligatoractivity.
People therefore should learn to recognize the difference betweensmall young alligator droppings and large adult alligator droppings.
Young alligator droppings are small and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers.
Adult alligator droppings have littlebells in them and smell like pepper spray.
