What do you get the man who has everything? A crocodile, of course. In honor of Sir Elton John’s recent 65th birthday, lifelong animal advocate Betty White and her friends at The Lifeline Program adopted a crocodile who lives at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens.

Per the LA Zoo Association, the “Adopt an Animal Program” enables anyone to assist one of the zoo’s terrific residents, such as the Malayan gharial crocodile that is part of the new LAIR exhibit and now counts the famous musician as its adopted parent.

“Elton has been a wonderful advocate for animals and wildlife issues, so we decided to honor him by adopting a crocodile on his behalf at The Los Angeles Zoo,” said White.
