Answer: Dogs and grandchildren!
Question: What is the favorite food of alligators?
While paddling on the Dora Canal on Wednesday, we met about a half a dozen tour boats taking tourists on site-seeing excursions in the canal. I think every tour guide operator enrolled in the same tour guide correspondence school. Every single one asked that question as we paddled by. Most were said loudly enough that we could hear; actually I think everyone in Tavares could hear them over their obnoxious PA system. The comment actually seemed to be directed more at us than at their clients. One said alligators would launch their whole bodies out of the water and onto a boat for a dog. With their jaws agape, I think the tourists really expected that to happen as they watched. The truth is alligators rarely feed at all in the winter, because they can't digest the food, and it will rot in their stomachs. Jerks.
