A family from South Carolina was walking near a pond where alligators live and were surprised to see two reptiles on the shore. The fact is that the skin of alligators had a pumpkin-orange hue - this does not exist in nature.
Orange reptiles crawled out to sunbathe on the edge of the pond in Bluffton, causing some concern among local residents, reports CNN.
“We weren’t sure what it was; it was pumpkin orange, not a bright color, but kind of rusty,” said witness Chad Goodwin. “We were curious whether this color was normal for them or not.”
Because of the strange color of alligators, a local resident, he said, did not immediately understand what he was looking at or whom.
Goodwin and his family noticed two crocodiles, one larger and one smaller, taking turns sitting in the pond and then climbing out to the shore.

Alligators are common in North and South Carolina, and orange reptiles have been seen before.
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources explained that the reptiles' unusual colors may be the result of alligators deciding to hibernate - and doing so in rusty sewers, writes Global News.
“They most likely overwintered in a rusty sewer or drainage pipe,” explained canal spokesman David Lucas. “Or somewhere on the shore where there is rust.”
Officials say that alligators will restore their natural color when they spend enough time in cleaner water.
