She took her graduation photos with two alligators

Katalina Daley posed for her college graduation photos with two alligators named Big Al and Tex. The recent graduate has worked at Gator Country Adventure Park & Sanctuary in Beaumont, Texas, for the past year, and the idea came from her boss, Shannon Saurage. In one shot, Daley kissed an alligator on the snout. Her Instagram bio reads, "Pretty girls care about wildlife," which she means literally. Working with the animals feels natural to her, she told People, though she keeps her guard up. "I always keep in mind that these are still wild animals at the end of the day," she said. "I think it is always important to remember what they can do." The photos drew thousands of comments, including one from a viewer in Liberty whose family had met Gator Country during rescue calls. Daley wanted her graduation to say something about reptiles people tend to fear. The alligators sat for it.
