Summary
414 alligators have been removed from Walt Disney World property in the decade since a child was killed in a 2016 attack at the resort.
Florida Fish and Wildlife trappers target gators longer than 4 feet that are deemed threats to people, pets or property.
Disney has also added fencing, boulder barriers and warning signs near water to keep alligators farther from guests.
Florida still has an estimated 1.3 million alligators across all 67 counties, and officials say removing nuisance animals does not materially affect the species.
