Someone needs to make a foam alligator decoy, which could be floated on

modeled, not the whole body, it would only need to be a foot or two
long.


This is already available on the market.
Can't find the URL off hand to send....


Solar cells, and a couple of LED's could make the eyes glow at night.
The foam body will hold enough batteries to keep it going a while, a
couple of days, overnight, and through cloudy days.


Hmmm wonder if the purchased gater could be modified?


Those ultrasonic things that make water vapor, could make the snout
appear to "breath" mist, possibly a prop, so it could move around. Do
this at random, so it appears alive.


Gators have misty breath? :-)


Now it would seem to me that what appears to be a 12' gator lurking in
your pond would be a big deterrent to any bird that would recognize
this.


AND to any unsuspecting human.
