Kate Gosselin & Gator! (VIDEO)

Kate Gosselin has faced many perils, from the tabloid media, her husband, and the judges on Dancing With The Stars. But do any of those compare to this season's showdown with a real live gator?

As seen in the video below that's just what happens in the new season of Kate Plus 8, as Gosselin and her kids go to the Florida everglades.

Gosselin went through a high profile divorce from her husband, ending their original show Jon & Kate plus 8, and now continues to raise her 8 kids and will keep her TV show going without Jon, as well as a new show Twist of Kate.

Want to hear Kate Gosselin scream in terror? Well, she does just that when she and her eight kids face an alligator in the Florida Everglades. Gosselin took her children to the Sunshine State to celebrate the sextuplets sixth birthday. The surprise trip was documented for TLC's two-hour special, Kate Plus 8, which marks the return of the Gosselin brood to TV since Jon & Kate Plus 8 went off the air last year. What else is in store for Kate and the kids on Sunday's show? More close encounters with creatures -- they'll feed sting rays and exotic birds and swim with dolphins -- as well as some tasty treats. They'll participate in an orange juice squeezing contest and eat birthday cake, of course!
