For the British, animals like gators are a wonder, never seen outside of zoos, but for locals, they’re nothing more than a nuisance to be chased off with a flip-flop.
Just outside of Kissimmee, Florida, a British woman whipped out her phone to capture a gator that looked like it was stalking some deer. It wasn’t the biggest reptile in the world, but it could probably do some damage to the animals nonetheless.
The lady, at a safe distance, filmed the large animal as it moved toward the deer, slowly and optimistically. She was hoping for her own David Attenborough show and was narrating it in his style. The deer seemed completely unperturbed by the small gator and mostly just ignored it.
But, as it moved forward to the fencing around another of the lakeside houses, some locals also spotted it. Clearly, they didn’t want it coming into their garden, and so armed themselves. However, they didn’t exactly choose the best weapons.
Flip Flop Assault On Gator
You would be forgiven for thinking that something formidable would be needed to fight off a prehistoric beast. Rather than picking up a rock or stick, the American woman pulled off her flip-flop. The British woman is shocked to see first one flip flop, then another fly at the gator.

Amazingly, it works, and the scared little lizard starts to make a retreat. But when it stops, the shoeless lady advances. Picking up her thrown flip-flop, she launches another at the gator, and it moves further toward the lake.
However, the British woman narrating is upset by the treatment of the gator, so she is overjoyed to see the gator get its revenge. Seeing one of the flip flops close by, it takes it as a trophy. It may not have taken down a whole deer, but the nice, tasty rubber of the woman’s slider will do as a snack in the meantime.
In typical British humour, the lady shows a sign telling people not to feed the alligators that sit next to the lake. I’m not sure if the flip-flop projectile counts as food grade.
