I am sure that baby gators can be more aggressive as babies than they are adults.

Could be.
I don't want to see either a baby or an adult anywhere near me

They are rather cute when young -- and little.

That looks like a cute gator. If I had a small pool I would not mind it swimming there,

I'm glad no one was hurt and the baby gator was relocated.

I am in agreement with you that the baby gator was saved and relocated to another safe area.
