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
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.
