TL;DR Summary

A half-snout alligator, missing its upper jaw, has been caught by a trapper and relocated to Gatorland, where it now resides in its own bungalow. The gator, believed to be female, had survived with its injury, likely caused by a boat propeller, by feeding on frogs and snails. Despite the injury, the gator has healed and can feed herself. Gatorland staff will provide her with bite-sized pieces of chicken, fish, and steak. The gator has gained attention on social media, and Gatorland is seeking suggestions for her name, with "Hope" being a heartfelt option.
