Possibly "Steve Irvan" of Animal Planet`s "Croc Hunter" could identify which species of gator they were! Might help to see of these were Florida 'Ferrets' on a Florida gator, or "Aussie" Ferrets, on crocs from Australia! Could help to trace the expanding membership of the FLO!..... (Florida chapter, or Australia chapter). Any contact attempt with Steve I., should probably be done from a household WITHOUT ferrets?!.... so as not to tip off the FLO>.! Good luck! john r. & the n.j. gang. (FLO-free, so far...?....). john rich <[log in to unmask]> [Posted in FML issue 5078]
