The orange crocodile was spotted in the pond city of Hanahan in
North Carolina (USA). Reptile forced the citizens to beg the
question: albino, or whether it is just an animal, covered with dry
clay?
The second option was popular among users of Facebook, who
enthusiastically commented on the post about the crocodile with
bright color. This is even more likely that the surroundings of the
city of Hanahan abound in clay.
The most witty put forward even more incredible
hypothesis.
“I bet he used too much bronzer,” wrote one commenter.
Crocodile is noticed in the first test on Tuesday. By the
evening of Thursday the orange coloration of reptiles began to
fade.
Kent Vliet, specialist in biology from the University of
Florida, believes that the color of the animal is the result of
genetic anomalies. “I have no doubt that the animal is somewhere
dirty, the scientist said. Is the color of rust”.
Albinos or crocodiles with laicismo is white. Other colors such as
reddish-orange, are possible, but are typically in the form of
spots. The rest of the crocodile’s body has a normal color.
Over time, painted crocodile skin will return to normal color,
if the animal will not return to the place where turned orange.
But if paint still will not go, the crocodile will just take off
the skin, assured Vliet.
