This poor crocodile has been wandering around Indonesia with a tire around its neck for around four years now, and no one can figure out how to remove it. The situation pointedly illustrates the problems caused by dumping garbage into the sea. Authorities are concerned that the tire could strangle the crocodile as it grows larger.
Antara reported that the crocodile may be a Siamese crocodile, a species native to southeast Asia that's critically endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Fewer than 1,000 of the crocodiles are thought to be left in the wild.
Indonesian officials have now offered a reward to free the unnamed crocodile from its plight, according to Antara.
"A reward will be given to anyone who can release the hapless reptile," Central Sulawesi Natural Resources Conservation Office chief Hasmuni Hasmar said. Details of the reward were not given.
While all ideas are welcome, the person who would approach the croc to actually do the deed would probably want more details on what the reward would be before risking life and limb. Read more on the story at Insider. -via Mental Floss
