Social media is filled with videos showing fathers turning into superheroes to save their children from peril.

Earlier, a clip showing a man confronting a 12-foot- long alligator to save his children and their babysitter in 2020 made rounds on the internet.

Andrew Grande spotted the alligator when he was in his backyard with their babysitter. Fortunately, his quick actions helped them escape unharmed.

Andrew Grande said he was inside his home when he spotted the alligator rising out of a canal behind his property. Although he reacted quickly, the alligator came almost three feet of his children and their babysitter.

He pulled his children out of the backyard and made several calls for help. The reptile was eventually removed from his premises by an alligator hunter.
