When it came time to take my senior pictures, I put on my favorite dress and headed down to the local portrait studio.
But not Makenzie Noland. Oh no. This girl decided to full on jump in a mud pit with a freakin prehistoric looking creature.
When asked about it, she said it took the whole summer to gain the trust of “Big Tex” the biggest gator at the Gator Country, a wildlife rescue in Beaumont, Texas.

I don’t know, it looks like she’s sizing her up for a meal to me.

Gator Country is a sanctuary for reptiles, according to its website.
“I worked with this alligator every day,” said Makenzie, “and I figured, ‘Why not wear a dress this time and celebrate my graduation with this incredible animal?’”
I mean I guess it’s better than the time she kissed him.

Or you know, played with a live rattlesnake.

Gives a whole new meaning to Gig ’em, don’t you think?
