A Texas A&M student took the phrase “see ya later, alligator” to the next level with her graduation photos. 

Makenzie Noland posted photos dressed in her cap and gown, accompanied by a large alligator on Facebook.

Noland interned at Gator Country, the largest alligator adventure park and sanctuary in southeast Texas.

“I wanted to highlight what I have been doing at my internship with Gator Country by taking those pictures with Tex,” she told News Channel 8.

“I have worked with him every day since I arrived and have a very special bond with that animal.”

She will graduate from the school on Friday with a degree in wildlife and fisheries sciences.
