Some scary moments for those swimming at Raven Lake in Huntsville State Park
Cell phone video shows the large gator swimming towards a group of children in the lake. As the alligator gets close to the kids, parents run in to help. Then, another child jumps in the water as the alligator swims closer.An alligator described by witnesses as maybe 12 feet long, was seen in the water at Huntsville State Park while several children were swimming.
"The gator was definitely aiming for her," said David Siljeg. "It was like a movie scene, but real.""He was definitely sneaking," said Noel Garcia. "There’s no doubt." FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku and Google Android TV! Garcia can be seen on the cell phone video running into the water to help the kids as the gator approached. He says the alligator got briefly tangled in a rope, and that could have helped save the children.Several signs near the swim area at Huntsville State Park warn of alligators. Earlier this summer, another incident at the same swimming spot required swimmers to be rescued from a dock. This after an alligator went in-between them and shore.
"That one in the video there, that could be a bigger male gator," said Eddie Sunila. "Maybe, he’s seeing a smaller sized kid as a prey item.""There are alligators all over Houston," said Sunila. "They go up the Texas border pretty far."According to Sunila, never feed wild animals, including alligators. If you see a gator too close to people, make sure to report it.
