Loafer the alligator is beloved in the Village of Pennecamp.

“Loafer is named after our social group The Penneloafers and because he loafs on the banks most of the time sunning himself. During mating season Loafer leaves for a while looking for love and eventually returns,” said Eileen Witmer of the Village of Pennecamp, who submitted the photo.
