Why the hell are there gators at Disney where small children are at?

I've never been, so someone school me on this. Is that little area of water natural or man-made? Has no one ever thought to get alligators out of an area where little kids are in the water? Are they not supposed to be near the water?
I know alligators aren't known to be super predators like they're portrayed to be, but if there's even a chance of them coming into contact with people staying at Disney then I don't see how anyone thought it would be a good idea to have them there.

Gators breed like rabbits in Florida. Can't contain them all

You do realize alligators are native wildlife to swampy areas LIKE THE STATE OF FLORIDA?

Because Disney World is in Florida.

It's a big arse lake that is connected to other waterways.
To keep Gators out they would have to eradicate them.

Disney was built in the middle of the swamp. There are probably over 1 million gators in Florida.
If there is swamp, marsh, water, they will find their way to it.
It is just that simple.
You kill 5 gators and remove them and 5 more will take over that territory.
The gators will come unless you eradicate all wildlife in the area that might be a food source for them. That is not feasible.

Can there not be a containment area for the body of water where this kid was? It's not that difficult to have an area designated for safe water activities

They look for gators all the time, but it's Florida. Water ways connected everywhere. How do you think gators end up on golf courses, it's not by choice of the course owners.

Nobody blaming parents this time around?

Why are their birds in the sky?! Why don't we stop them from migrating!?!?!

I'm not trolling. I have 0 knowledge of Disney geography. I just figured everything there was man-made.

I find it hard to believe that a billion-dollar company can't find a way to keep alligators and any other dangerous animals away. Reminds me of the old game Zoo Tycoon where I'd purposely leave cages open so that tigers and shite could get out and eat some of the visitors.

It had a no swimming sign, but hindsight is easy too. You're in Disney World, at a resort in 1 foot deep water. I can see how it happens

I'm pretty sure it's natural. Because of sinkholes, Florida probably has more lakes than Minnesota.
And Disney actual does do a lot of animal control to try to prevent this. But it ed a perfect storm being a little kid wading at dusk. Something a family from Nebraska would be clueless about. It's just a horrible tragedy, that while preventable, was probably bound to happen at some point.
