Got gator guts? Send 'em to scientist | floridatoday.com | FLORIDA TODAY: "Attention alligator hunters: A Florida Tech scientist wants your gator guts -- on ice.
He's looking for more evidence to prove local alligators chow down almost exclusively on two South American catfish: the sailfin and hoplo.
Gators gobble up these two suckers as their staple diet with unknown consequences, he suspects.
'Freeze the stomach, and give us a call. All we really need to know is how big the gator was and where it was caught,' said Jon Shenker, a fishery biologist at Florida Tech.
Shenker and/or his students will come and pick up the gator guts, if hunters keep them on ice."
