Some locals have even joked of the four-foot long animal’s love of fake tan, leading them to compare the animal to President Trump.
One said: “I guess he used too much self tanner?”
Another added: “So the gators here in the low country showing support for our president. Meet #TRUMPGATOR found just now in a pond by my house. Cute lil guy.”
The sighting soon set tongues wagging on how the alligator got its unusual colour.
One resident told WCBD: “I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Some have suggested it is an unusual form of albinism, while others have claimed the colour probably comes from living in a rusty pipe during the winter months.
