Too much self-tanning lotion? Orange gator puzzles residents

HANAHAN, S.C. (AP) — No one seems to know why there’s an orange alligator in a pond near Charleston, South Carolina.
Residents joke the gator used too much self-tanning lotion. Or maybe it’s a fan of the Clemson Tigers, who are known for their orange colors.
Residents living near the pond in Hanahan say they’ve seen the orange or rust-colored alligator a number of times.
