An alligator got swift revenge on a Florida woman after she kept throwing her shoe at the animal as it wandered through the grass.
The gator was seen on video snatching the woman's shoe after she angrily hurled it at it near a body of water in Kissimmee - about 30 minutes from Orlando.
The now-viral moment was caught on camera by Sarah Louise Martin who was vacationing in the city from her home in Gravesend, England.
Martin, who posted the clip to TikTok, was seen greeting everyone before spotting the small alligator and a family of deer not too far from each other.
'Morning everyone. I've just woke up and come outside and I've just seen this on the grass outside – an alligator casually walking around and some deers. Well, they look like deers. I'm not too sure what they are,' Martin said.
Focused on the interaction between the animals, Martin watched as the people next door fed the group of deer.
While they did so, Martin kept a close eye on the gator to see how it would react to the deer - but it was the other woman she should've looked out for.
Just moments later a woman, dressed in a floral ensemble and glassed, flung her shoes at the gator as Martin watched on in horror.
'They don't seem to be scared of him at all,' the vacationer said, referring to the deer and the alligator before the bizarre moment took place.
The alligator then started to move toward the deer as Martin said: 'He's on the move.'
The gator went on to lie down on the grass as it continued to watch the deer, but just moments later, a woman threw her white sandals at it.
The animal ran away but started to inch back over as the woman again threw the pair of shoes at it, appearing to try to get it away from the deer she and others were feeding.
'No! They're throwing their shoe at him,' Martin narrated.
Suddenly, the gator decided it had enough of her antics and snatched one of the shoes and ran back into the water with it.
Martin seemingly sided with the alligator and was left pleased by its choice of revenge.
'Get that show and eat it! Run off with that shoe,' she said. 'That serves her right for throwing the shoe at it.'
The woman who threw her shoes was left looking at the animal in awe as it snuck back into the water.
Meanwhile, several people were heard chuckling as it did so.
At the end of the clip, Martin spotted a sign that clearly warned not to feed the wildlife.
An estimated 1.3 million alligators live in Florida, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
