Florida wildlife officials believe they’ve captured the alligator that dragged a 2-year-old Nebraska boy into the Seven Seas Lagoon at Walt Disney World.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a news release Wednesday that it has suspended alligator trapping activities in the area. The release says officials have based their conclusions on expert analyses and observations by staff with extensive experience in investigating fatal alligator bites. A total of six alligators were removed.
Authorities say an alligator pulled Lane Graves into the water June 14, despite the frantic efforts of his father. Lane’s body was recovered the next day. An autopsy showed the boy died from drowning and traumatic injuries.
The beach at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is across a lake from the Magic Kingdom.

How do they know the gator they captured is the one that dragged the 2 year old in the water?
They probably don’t. Is perception of safety an issue here?
They probably did a bite pattern analysis. Every living creature has its own.
Unless they found the boys DNA or body parts i dont think they can 100%say they have the gator
Pure BS
WHY NOT SAY THEY FOUND IT, AFTER ALL, DISNEY IS BIG BUCKS, AND NOBODY MESSES WITH BIG BUCKS
They should catch them all an move them after putting a fence up to stop them coming into area
