Alligators are the original influencers of the swamp, strutting their scaly selves like they own the place, which, let’s face it, they kind of do. These toothy trendsetters have been around for millions of years, rocking a look that’s both retro and timeless. They’re the kind of reptiles that don’t need to evolve because they nailed it on the first try. With their languid lope and jaws that could snap a selfie stick in half, alligators are the epitome of cool in the reptilian world. And just when you thought they couldn’t get any cooler, they’ve recently been spotted dipping their toes into the world of comedy. That’s right, alligator puns are now a thing, and they’re snapping up laughs faster than a gator snaps up a tasty fish!

Keep a look out for these swampy jokers the next time you’re out and about. You never know when you’ll come upon a pun so awful it’s gator-ific. Just be careful not to approach too near – their jokes may be amusing, but their bites are not.
