PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT! Huge Reward For Anyone Who Removes Tyre From Crocodile's Neck

A reward is being offered to anyone brave enough to remove a motorcycle stuck around the neck of a 13ft crocodile in Indonesia.

The creature has been struggling around with the tyre since at least 2016 when it was first spotted in the Palu River in Central Sulawesi. 

The endangered Siamese crocodile has survived an earthquake and a tsunami that struck the region in 2018, but the tyre hasn’t budged.

The agency’s chief Hasmuni Hasmar did not specify how much the reward would be but it would come out of his own pocket as the agency is strapped for cash.

Mr Hasmar stressed that he didn’t want to encourage amateurs to risk themselves and only wanted people with a background in wildlife rescue.

Wildlife officials are especially concerned that the tyre – thought to come from a Vespa scooter thrown into the estuary – will strangle the crocodile if it is not removed urgently. 

An agency official said at the time: ‘Its body is getting bigger and the tyre which should be 14 inches, is stifling it.

‘If the tyre is not removed immediately, it will strangle the crocodile because of its growing body.’
