“I’ve never seen any crocodiles like orange. Its skin seems to be covered with clay, “a commentator. Reptile expert says Josh Zalabak orange crocodile skin can be caused by it having environmental risks. “For example, algae or some chemical leaks contaminating water sources. But I’m not sure this leads to orange crocodile skin, unless your water tested, “Zalabak said. Another expert is Jay Butfiloski working at South Carolina Department of Natural Resources said that this is not a new crocodile but a genetic abnormality in the skin orange if it’s natural, is not affected by the weak externalities. Experts are waiting to add some more time to see the crocodiles skin color has been changed or not before making the correct conclusions.
