Plush Gator Saves Kid From Rogue Ball

16:15 GMT 21.04.2017 (Updated: 19:30 GMT 19.10.2022)

Alligators can be nice and kind, and Florida Gators’ talisman is an example to prove this. The baseball team’s official mascot, Albert the Alligator shielded a little boy from a foul ball with his soft body.

After the ball hit the heroic alligator in his head, Albert collapsed. Meanwhile, the child pretended to resurrect the mascot, giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Albert has his own account on Twitter, where he made it clear that his recovery is going well.
