414 alligators removed from Disney World properties in the last decade after 2-year-old’s death

At least 414 “nuisance” alligators have been captured and removed from Walt Disney World property since a toddler was killed by one of the reptiles a decade ago, according to a report. ​

Lane Thomas Graves, two, was killed on June 14, 2016, when an alligator pounced as he built sandcastles on the beach outside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The animal lunged out of the Seven Seas Lagoon while Lane was “ankle deep or less in the water,” according to state records obtained by News 6. ​
