Gator found with missing nose and upper jaw recovering in Florida reptile park

A Florida reptile park has recently taken in an alligator that suffered severe facial injuries, including the loss of its nose and upper jaw, either due to a fight or a boat propeller. The injured alligator was found in a lake in Sanford, near Orlando.

To ensure the alligator's recovery, the park's veterinarian staff will closely monitor its eating habits and provide small, cut-up pieces of food that can be easily consumed without stress.
