Gatorland, Orlando, took in injured reptile who drew international attention after being spotted with top half of jaw missing

Rescuers who took in a jawless Florida alligator have given the bedraggled reptile a new, Dolly Parton-inspired name: Jawlene.

Gatorland, an 110-acre theme park near Orlando that rescues alligators, made the cheeky announcement earlier this week following numerous submissions. Jawlene is a nod to Parton’s famed 1973 song Jolene, during which she begs a romantic rival not to steal her partner.
