This is Snappy, the crocodile that surprised his handlers by suddenly turning orange in late 2011. The handlers suspected that iron or tannins in the water were responsible. No harm came to Snappy after he turned orange. Coincidentally, an orange alligator was sighted earlier in 2011.

5. Pink African Grey Parrots
