Sadly no.

We'll show those animals a thing or two about who is boss!

Re: Gator Devours Toddler At Disney World
Reportedly there was a lifeguard that was alerted to the abduction. If there's no swimming signs posted, why was there a need for a lifeguard?
I agree a two year old in foot deep water is no big deal. I could see my daughter as a two year old having done that. Just the thought is horrible.

That's a new pair of shoes for all the Kardashians.

I agree it is a horrible situation.
The lifeguard mentioned was on duty at the swimming pool, located just around the corner from the beach.

I hope there's a fence between the lake and the swimming pool...

We've had kids die from getting bacteria infections from swimming in ponds, lakes, and rivers here too.
IMHO, just not good practise to go into the water except for the ocean, gulf, or swimming pools.
Of course there are always sharks to consider as well....

Read an article in Fox News (I know it's Fox) but there were numerous incidents reported by staff members where people would feed two alligators from the balconies of their rooms but looking at the picture above from Jon, it looks like a long throw, possible but long. If it is true then you know why gators were that close.

Re: Gator Devours Toddler At Disney World
I've stayed with my family at the Polynesian. I assumed the no swimming signs were because of the motorized boat traffic in the area. We sat on the beach to watch the fireworks. As many times as I've been to Florida, I've never seen an alligator. I'm very surprised to find out there are gators in Lake Buena Vista.

My son is almost 2 and a half years old. The grief and sorrow would be unbearable. I'm sorry, playing in a foot of water is NOT swimming. This family was from Nebraska? No way they would have been thinking about alligators. This is terrible and tragic and I can't imagine Disney isn't majorly liable here.

Re: Gator Devours Toddler At Disney World
If there is anything to be thankful for, that is it. Still so heartbreaking for a 2 year old to die at all, but especially in this manner.
Re: Gator Devours Toddler At Disney World
Not surprising to me.
Gators don't have the type of mouth and jaw strength to chew large prey ....they tend to swallow their prey more than chew on them. For larger prey especially, their MO is to drag them under first to drown them....and then find somewhere to stow them away for later consumption.
Also, the trappers who were summoned that evening immediately searched the immediate area and ended up killing 4 gators, any one of which was likely the one that attacked the toddler. In which case the toddler's body probably just remained in the state it was when left by the gator.
The body was supposedly found in about 6' of water approx. 15' out from the shore.
Prayers to the family.
