Indonesian Crocodile Suffers Due to Tire Around Neck, Faces Breathing Difficulties – Reward Offered for Removal

Indonesia has a crocodile wearing a bicycle tire around its neck for years, and the tire has never been removed. According to reports from the UK's Daily Mail on January 31, the animal organization where the crocodile resides has issued a public appeal, hoping that someone capable will come to help them remove the tire from the crocodile, and will offer a cash reward for success.

This crocodile was discovered by the organization in 2016, and it already had the tire around its neck at that time. The crocodile survived the 2018 Indonesian earthquake and tsunami, and the tire survived with it. The crocodile continued to live with the tire, and the organization was unable to remove it.

As the crocodile's body has grown, its length has reached 4 meters, and it has become increasingly fierce and difficult to approach. However, as its body has grown, the tire remains the same size, and the tire is now very tight, posing a risk of the crocodile being strangled by the tire. The crocodile has experienced several instances of breathing difficulties, so it is urgent to rescue it. Therefore, the organization's director, Hasmany, issued a public appeal.
