Woman scares off crocodile with flip-flop in Australia
2 October 2016
A woman has scared away a salt water crocodile, which was swimming towards her and her dog, by slapping her flip-flop at it. It is thought that are at least 120 crocodiles in this stretch of the East Alligator River, in Kakadu National Park. The last fatal attack there was in 1987.

A good enough reason for me to continue to wear sandals longer! Suppose the gator left this woman alone because it was laughing hysterically?

Love this, and never thought of my flip flops as a weapon or deterrent…need to keep them out and buy a few more pairs while they are on sale for almost nothing.
