Recently Snappy a 8 foot long salt water crocodile who lives in the Roaming Reptiles facility in Melbourne, Australia was ordinary just like the others a dark green croc. Until one day his owner Tracy Sandstrom was looking upon a orange Snappy, she was horrified and scared that the croc was terribly sick how he had changed from a ordinary green croc to a bright orange croc over night.
Fortunately the croc doesn't have a rare disease at all its just is own crocodile habits. Apparently the croc stays in a heated tub over night and had been chewing on the pipes and managed to destroy the filter.
The result of this is that his tub filled with red algae and leaves dying him a hilarious bright orange.
Sadly but fortunately experts say that the dye won't last forever, its bright orange color will start to fade. But he did have a nice run being famous.
Here is a short click about this extraordinary croc!!
