A crocodile in Florida has gone through a journey to remove an unsavory snack from her stomach. Veterinarians at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine had to surgically remove a shoe that was eaten by a 341-pound Nile crocodile named Anuket.
Anuket swallowed the shoe in December, after it fell off of a zipliner zooming above the crocodile's habitat at the Alligator Farm Zoological Park in St. Augustine, Florida, according to University of Florida (UF).
The 10.5-foot crocodile was seen eating the shoe, regurgitating it and eating it again, according to the school.
