The images of the orange animals quickly became viral in social networks.

Two crocodiles were found with the orange flakes in Bluffton, Caroline from the south. The striking finding was made by one of the villagers who, after seeing the two specimens at the edge of a pond, decided to inform the local authorities.

David Lucas, member of Department of Natural Resources South Carolina, reported that the amazing coloring could simply be due to oxide that forms in the drainage tubes. "In winter, crocodiles like to dig to find a suitable place to hibernate. It is possible that these reptiles ended near the pond pipes, from which rusted metal parts stand out.".

In addition, the specialist indicated that although it is a extremely unusual discovery, in 2017, the discovery of a specimen with the same characteristics in a lake has also been reported charleston, a city of the same state.
