A disabled alligator nicknamed 'Jawlene' because it is missing half its mouth has been rescued by a resident who found it wandering around a Florida neighborhood.
The gator was spotted on a boat ramp by a local resident who was concerned by its missing upper jaw and called animal rescue for help.
Jerry Flynn, a trapper with the Florida Wildlife Commission, safely captured the alligator and transported it to a new home - Gatorland, a theme park and wildlife reserve in Orlando.
There, the reptile has found a dedicated caretaker, Savannah Boan, a crocodilian enrichment coordinator at the reserve.
Boan, affectionately named it Jawlene, a playful twist on Dolly Parton's classic country song 'Jolene.'

A certain Dolly Parton song comes to mind.

I guess it has to have its food cut up into smaller bites. Nothing to chew with!

They don’t chew anyways. They rip or swallow whole.
Alligators, being cold-blooded, usually will leave a carcass under water a dew days for it to ‘swell up’, like marinating, so they can more easily digest it..............

I’m not a huge fan of alligators, but if a human did this to this animal... They should receive the same treatment.

If confession is good for the soul, there are times I wished my ex-wife’s mouth quit working.

I'm more inclined to think another gator did it. But who knows - there's certainly no shortage of people sick enough to do it.
To: Red Badger
Some animals are better off put down. This is one case.

I suspect that applies to most of us in some fashion or other.

I never realized they didn’t chew some, but I guess you’re right! They rip and swallow.
