Only in Florida: an alligator turned the tables on a would-be shoe-thrower, grabbing her sandal and making a splashy getaway into the lake! Locals know gators are everywhere, but this cheeky critter’s move is a wild reminder to keep your distance. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says gators usually avoid people, but you never know when they’ll surprise you. Would you have tried to scare it off, or just watched from afar? Share your gator stories or tips for staying safe near the water! #Science #FloridaLife #Alligator
