alligator attack
“I call them angels, that were there, that saved his life,” said the 23-year-old's mother.
The gator's bite was enough to crush a portion of the man's skull and break his jaw.
The giant reptile was captured and euthanized on site.
An alligator pulled a handler into its pen, whipping around and clamping its jaws as the woman struggled to break free.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Alligator fatalities in the state are "extremely rare," according to an official.
The child's dad, Matt Graves, was injured after being attacked by the second gator while trying to rescue his son, emails reveal.
The alligator snatched the toddler on June 14 as he played at the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon, a manmade lake at the Walt Disney Co resort.
In the last 12 hours, these parents have lost everything in the happiest place on Earth.
Male victim may have been in the water for "more than a day," police say.
"It's typical alligator behavior. They are cannibalistic at times."
