the two-year-old from the water. >> reporter: the 16-hour long desperate search for the two-year-old boy attacked by an alligator at disney world has come to a heart breaking close. >> this was a tough message to deliver to them to let them know that at this point that their child was dead. >> reporter: that little boy has now been identified as lane graves. >> we're haerlt broken at this outcome. >> reporter: it was just across from disney's magic kingdom. the graves family of four from nebraska three days into their vacation, enjoying the sandy beach. lane sanding in ankle deep water and the alligator emerged and attacked him. the father struggled to get the toddler from the guy or the's

grip. >> reporter: they've gators were removed from the water during the search. >> we've done all due diligence. >> after today's press conference, many questioning if the attack should have taken place. there was a sign posted saying no swimming. there was no warning there might be alligators in the water. >> everyone here at the walt disney world resort is devastated by this tragic accident. >> reporter: this is by no means the first time alligators have been spotted at disney world. just two weeks ago this video captured the moment two flower girls spotted an alligator outside of the disney wedding pa yilvilleon. the theme park was built on top of swampland that was drained. the complex is almost 25,000 acres, and disney guaranteed a part of their land would always be a nature preserve.

the gators are removed from the park if they are too big or bold. >> even some of their staff are allowed to take out staff if they see it's a problem. >> reporter: gators have begun turning up everywhere, on doorsteps, in pools, even shopping centers. >> a 27-year-old was swimming in shoulder deep water at a popular central florida beach when a guy or the clamped down on her arm. >> it had me. at that point i realized i wasn't getting out of it. >> reporter: fortunately two nearby people heard her and beat the guy or the with a paddle. it took her arm and part of her bathing suit but spared her life. another had a fey or the out of a canal. his mother watching on in horror. >> i was thinking, it's got my

son. >> reporter: with all his courage, the 45-year-old managed to pull his hand out of the guy or the's grip. >> i was going for a swim. >> reporter: the florida fish and wildlife conservation said there are seven unprovoked guy or the bites every year. the odds of getting attacked is only about one in 2 .5 million. some find the power of the animals alluring. some even hunt for them. the stokes family in alabama captured a true bahemith and in mississippi, guy or the hunters. her son and brother-in-law, they caught this 723 pounder. an hour later, dustin golfman and his team wrangled this one, four pounds heavier. this is the hunt coordinator. >> it is safe. we've only had two accidents

reported. both of them were fairly minor. we had one person that got bit on the hand. >> reporter: he took us to a female guy or the's coveted spot. he said they're so big because for years nobody was able to hunt them. the gators grew in size and population so much so they've become a dangerous knew sense. >> for many people here, alligators have become a problem? >> absolutely. under the deck of a house, swimming pools, in the highways, in the parking lots of downtown jackson. they're everywhere. >> reporter: about 10 miles outside of disney, they say there isn't much that can contain an alligator. is there any way to prevent this? >> not really, they get in pipes and drainage ditches. >> reporter: when you look at places like disney, you wouldn't expect a guy or the. >> you wouldn't.

you think it shouldn't. it's a body of water in florida. >> reporter: he said the attack was the result of a perfect storm. >> it was nighttime. that's when they like to hunt. they hear splashing in the water. a small object, and easy target. >> reporter: gators are especially dangerous predators. they are very powerful. >> this team of year they're getting more active and more movement. they're out hunting, looking for their territory, protecting t r territory. >> reporter: the father ran in trying to save his little boy, but this alligator is just very strong. >> extremely strong and powerful. but possibly if the animal had gotten scared when the father went after it, it may have released the child and swam off, but you do anything and everything you can to try. >> reporter: disney's chairman saying as a parent and a grandparent, my heart goes out to the graves family during this time of devastating loss.

my thoughts and prayers are with them, and everyone in disney joins me in offering our deepest sympathies. most people in florida know that any body of water can contain alligators, people from elsewhere don't. >> they have to expect the vast majority of people there aren't going to know about the possible risks and aren't from florida. >> reporter: a point dan abrams says is likely to be critical. >> this is contact specific. there's no question when a child is snatched bring a guy or the on disney property on a manmade loo goon, there's potential civil liability. >> and a message through the police. >> that have gone forward to allow those events to recover their son so they can move

forward at this time. >> reporter: for "nightline" in orlando. next, in action. striking first video images of the orlando nightclub shooter, and the young mother under attack at a target store cafe for breast feeding. what the employees did next. th, ...well do i have a surprise for you. it's red lobster's new lobster and shrimp summerfest! with the lobster and shrimp... ...you love in so many new dishes, you're gonna wanna try... ...every last one. like the new coastal lobster & shrimp. with a wood-grilled lobster tail, ...wild-caught red shrimp crusted with panko, ...and shrimp fresh off the grill and brushed with... ...summer ale bbq sauce. or try the new lobster & shrimp overboard, ...because when a dish can wow you like this, ...overboard's the only way to describe it. but hurry, this ends soon.

i'm like all right. let's go. he grabs me and turns around and starts running. i was very lucky that one cop was there. >> reporter: on the campaign trail, presumptive nominees from both parties taking up the issue of gun rights and acts of terror. >> we do need to top terrorists from getting their hands on the tools to carry out attacks so easily, especially assault weapons, military style assault weapons that have no place on our streets. >> if some of those great people that were in that club that night had guns, you would have had a situation, folks, which would have been always horrible but nothing like the carnage that we all as a people suffered this weekend. >> reporter: and the hospital in orlando, angel has begun to heal. he's not able to walk quite yet, but says the outpouring of
