    I don't have kids but if I ever did I don't think them hanging around two alligators at a camp site would be part of their upbringing. May-be I'm just overprotective.

    when i was in high school we used to go out on my friends uncles boat. he had one of those big flashlights, and you run the light across the water, you can see the gators sittin up on the water getting air, because when the light hits them their eyes are red. he would turn of the engine to the boat and we would paddle up on the gator from behind and his uncle would hang over the bow of the boat, grab the gator by the mouth (very quickly) and pull the gator out of the water. he never did this with over 4' gators but he did this on the reg and just kind of got a kick out of it...

    For one, the gators appear to be very young. But that doesn't typically matter. It appears to be an RV park or campground. The gators probably frequent the area because the tourists feed them and whatnot. So they have probably been desensitized by the presence of humans and other animals. The cat was just relying on instinct. Had the gators followed suit, they would have had a nice little snack. Makes for a great video.

    And for the northerners that are asking if this is normal. NO it's not. Any other wild gator would have snatched both those cats, and maybe that boy too. And still would be hungry.
