Wayward gators – As part of this week's Gotta Watch, CNN.com is featuring some of our favorite videos from this year. Today, we're rolling out our finest alligator videos from 2010. Alligators have a tendency to end up where they are unwelcome and, as you can probably guess, the fate of some of these gators is a bit grim.

It's now become the preferred method for freeing wayward animals caught without their ice skates. In this video, the Bambi-esque stumbling of a small calf on a frozen pond is adorable enough to garner attention, but the rescue makes the video captivating. All in a day's work for KWTV out of Oklahoma.
