Flourishing algae turn croco Orange….
Here is a unique kind of crocodile. I’ve been tangoed! Crocodile turns orange after chewing through pipe filled with tannin’s. Snappy the bad-tempered salt water crocodile got a little more than he’d bargained for when he decided a pipe in his tank would make a tasty meal.
The pampered croc from Melbourne, Australia, turned a bright shade of orange after it turned out to contain tannins produced by a type of red algae. Owner Tracey Sandstrom from Roaming Reptiles believes Snappy had chewed through a filter a few weeks earlier which caused the algae to flourish.
