Croc freed from tire stuck on neck for 6 years

  • サマリー

  • A wild crocodile with a motorcycle tire stuck around its neck for six years has finally been freed by an Indonesian bird catcher in a tireless effort that wildlife conservation officials hailed as a milestone Feb. 9. The 4.5-meter saltwater female crocodile has become an icon to the people in Palu, the capital city of Central Sulawesi. The beast was seen on the city’s river with the tire around its neck getting tighter, running the risk of choking her. Conservation officials have been racing to rescue the crocodile since residents spotted the reptile in 2016. In early January, 35-year-old bird catcher and trader Tili, who recently moved to the city, heard about the famous crocodile from his neighbors and determined to rescue the reptile after he saw her frequently sunbathing at a nearby estuary. He strung ropes of various sizes into a trap tied to a tree near the river, and laid chickens, ducks and birds as bait. After three weeks of waiting and several failed attempts, the crocodile finally fell into the trap Feb. 7. With the help of his friends, Tili pulled the crocodile ashore and sawed through the tire.
