#5 When I was working near Mobile, Alabama in 1983 a bunch of us frequented a bar that had a deck overlooking a swampy area. There were several very large alligators that would come up to the deck and we would feed them marshmallows. The biggest we named Izod. One day when we showed up after work the owner told us we had to stop feeding Izod because as he got out of his car in the parking lot with a brand new pair of very white tennis shoes on Izod spotted him and chased him across the lot. Luckily he made it to the entrance without getting caught. I don't believe any of us has fed a 'gator since nor will we do so in the future.

#10 DB, is there any way to entrain them on Izzies?
Then create a prime time reality show "Meet Your Gator", provided that the meanest one is named Allan. Or it could be "Meat to Your Gator".
I vote option #1.

#11 Sobiesky, they could be trained to associate a color or maybe a specific type of clothing with food. Izod deffinately associated white with food. Wrap up the 'gator's food in a turban, train it for a week or so, turn him loose in Izzieland and see what happens.
