@@PremiumRaizo A human can lift weights heavier than themselves and many animals can as well. Crocs and Alligators are known to have strong muscles outside of their already dangerous biting power. There is a reason why heavy grown people who get on top of even the small crocs and gators will often have trouble holding it down. These creatures are extremely powerful and it is said the you should never underestimate how dangerous an animal is based on its size. All that gator had to do anyways was get this kid on the ground and go for his throat, child would be as good as dead by the time dad "maybe" managed to pry it off. Big maybe cause these things are not know to let go easily and I didn't see any weapons ready to kill it. Plus, pulling it off forcefully could potentially cause even more damage as well depending on what it sunk into. Also no, there is no guarantee that this 4-6 year old boy is heavier than that gator. Average weight of a child that size just looking at him is between 35-50lb and that gator wasn't exactly a hatchling. Might look small to you, but these animals can carry pretty underestimated amounts of pounds for their size. And even if not heavier, a small gator can still pose a threat and do severe damage to an adult, much less a child, so why act as though it wasn't dangerous regardless? Thing could still damage a child badly regardless of fatality.
As someone who has lived in Florida my whole life, there’s no way I’d let my kid get that close to the shore of a pond especially with the sun setting. In pretty much every pond or lake in Florida, you can almost guarantee there’s gonna be gators.

Children have no world experience, they react immediately to anything they consider danger because they don’t understand what’s truly happening 95% of the time, especially at that age. Big scary creature comes out the water; Run. Adults have worldly experience, they know what fear is, they know what danger is. It’s like being older than 15 and realizing 100% of horror movies these days are at most 5% accurate to anything considered Real, so horror movies just because comical and hilarious. There’s no truth, there’s nothing to actually be afraid of, there’s no reason at all to be scared whatsoever. So why would you go to a horror movie in theaters as an adult and genuinely be scared like a little kid? . Same here. It’s a baby alligator. Sure, it could’ve dragged the kid in; But what’s that scrawny piece of shit going to do to an adult? Bash it’s skull in with your foot and roast it over a fire just simply to assert your dominance over the Alligator species as a whole.

WhY aReN’t YoU rEaCtInG lIkE a NorMal PerSon?” Because he watched his friends die from mortar rounds and witnessed children get turned into paste by .50 Cal shots, all the while countless thousands of bullets flew passed him day in and day out. Why would he react with fear to something he’s already prepared to handle?

I grew up in GA and even there they teach you not to get close to the water. Dude's lucky he didn't lose his kid.
What astonished me more was not the gator appearing out of nowhere nor the kid just calmly stepping back and not making a fuss despite the scary situation, but instead it was impressive to see such a big piece of garbage of a dad whose son could have been attacked and he never even dropped his phone to keep filming. If that would have been a bigger gator, it would definitively had gone for the kid which was a bigger prey, and since the dad didnt even bother to let go of filming the kid would have been 6 feet under the water in just 5 seconds. Let that sink in.
The fact that he’s more concerned about recording than his sons safety is frightening.

In that case in disney, the kids were splashing in the waters edge, and the parents were paying zero attention, until the screams started.
