If you are being chased by an alligator, what do you do?
If you run in a straight line, the alligator will catch you
and eat you alive.  And if you dive into the water and try
to outswim the alligator, the alligator will jump in after
you and eat you alive.

As every kid knows, at least those kids in Louisiana, you gotta
outrun an alligator by running in a zigzag.  You see, an alligator
has to stop in order to change direction.  And that takes time,
giving the kid enough time to get to safety.

In Australia, where crocodiles are king, running away is not the answer.
Instead, one should sneak up behind the croc and walk on its back, then
clasp the jaws to keep them from snapping together, and hope the croc
is not really hungry.

The other way is to feed the croc with something other than a kid.
