TL;DR Summary

An alligator missing its top jaw, rescued in Florida, has been affectionately named Jawlene, inspired by Dolly Parton's hit song "Jolene." The alligator, initially thought to be male and named Lil Guy, was discovered to be female. Jawlene arrived malnourished and underweight but is recovering well and has successfully eaten mice on her own. There are no immediate plans for a prosthetic jaw, but it may be considered in the future.
