Makenzie Noland is a Texas A&M graduate calls into The Ford Faction after her pictures and video become a Twitter star when she got hands-on experience with one of natures scariest creatures. “Big Tex” the 13 foot 8.5-inch alligator is trained to come towards her, stay still, and interact with her trainers. “This all started out as an internship and 2 weeks later I was in the pond with Big Tex,” says Noland. She will be graduating this week with a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. She says her main goal now is to “find a job!” and continue to work wherever she can help.
