A video posted to YouTube in 2009, shows an employee stabbing, poking and prodding an alligator trying to make its way on land near Splash Mountain as tourists float by on a log flume, oblivious to what's going on.
Toddler Lane Graves was playing in a foot of water Tuesday in the Seven Seas Lagoon near Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa when he was snatched and killed by a gator described by witnesses as between 4 and 7 feet in length.
At least six alligators were removed from the lagoon and killed during the search for the Nebraska boy and Disney says it is evaluating its safety protocols.
A search on the video sharing site gives results from over the years of other footage featuring close encounters with the reptiles.
The videos include others showing alligators near Splash Mountain as well as guests feeding alligators including at the Coronado Resort.
