GAINESVILLE, Fla. – There are a lot of gator stories in Florida, but this croc may have them beat. Doctors at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine recently conducted surgery to get a shoe out of a crocodile’s stomach after she swallowed it.
Anuket, a nearly 11-foot croc, came to UF Veterinary Hospital on Feb. 5 to remove the offending footwear. [TRENDING: 1 dead in Rolls Royce crash | Mom, boyfriend arrested after toddler drowns | How to get the vaccine in Fla.] According to the hospital, the shoe had fallen off a zipliner at St.
Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, where she lives. Since the shoe fell into the Nile crocodile’s habitat, she decided to eat it for a snack.
