The animal was only acting according to it's instincts. Can't blame the gator for wanting to fill it's belly.
If you look at the third video I posted you will see the beach. This is what I don't get, why have a beach for water with alligators in the first place? A no swimming sign (there is one) is not enough. Alligators are even faster on land than in water. In the video I posted the family was well within the rules of "no swimming" while allowing their young children to run along the edge of the water. A hungry alligator could have just as easily snatched one of those kids who weren't in the water but were really close to it. When you make a beach, with beach chairs and a hammock, people are not going to expect that there's something dangerous in the water.
