Thanks Jack for the interesting article. I know I'm not getting near that beast. ~Den



Excerpt: "The crocodile has had the tire around its neck for more than three years, prompting fears that it could suffocate as it grows. Indonesian authorities are offering a reward to anyone that is able to free a crocodile which has a tire stuck around its neck. The 13-foot-long crocodile has had the motorcycle tire around its neck for more than three years, prompting officials to ask experienced conservationists for help. Officials did not say how much was on offer for releasing the tire, simply saying: "A reward will be given to anyone who can release the hapless reptile."

Conservationists have had to turn to the public due to the lack of people in Central Sulawesi's Natural Resources Conservation Office that are trained to handle the crocodile. The crocodile in question, which is already deemed to be endangered, has overcome several hurdles in its life while carrying the tire, surviving tsunamis and earthquakes that have struck the city of Palu. Despite the disasters, the tire remains lodged around its neck and as the beast grows, so does the risk of suffocation. In early 2018, animal whisperer Muhammad Panji, also known as Panji the Adventurer, tried his luck at removing the tire, but to no avail. In the same year, the conservation office tried to lure the crocodile over to them, while others set up a trap to capture the animal - which it evaded."
