Nick Wiley, executive director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said gator attacks on people are rare, but noted that Florida waterways are home to many of them. There's no way to know their whereabouts.

“We have alligators in freshwater throughout Florida,” he said during a news conference at dawn. “They move around.”

He has said repeatedly during news conferences providing updates in the sad case that Disney is very proactive about dealing with potentially problematic alligators. Still, the park has faced scrutiny in recent days over whether its "no swimming" signs adequately informed guests about potential threats.

In response, the park plans more explicit verbiage.
