Disney worker pokes alligator back into water near ride

According to Metro, the alligator was just a few metres away from tourists, who were using the popular log flume water ride. The shocking footage shows a gator lurking in the theme park and a staff member poking it with a net to make it get back into the water. The staff member can be seen making several attempts to stop the gator from trying to crawl out on to land.

According to reports, there are no warnings at the resort about gators and people have been seen feeding the dangerous reptiles. However, following the incident, Disney has reportedly issued a statement saying "there will be a swift and thorough review of safety, and signage and warnings", Metro reported.
