A crocodile in Indonesia has had a tyre stuck on its head for years ‐ and there's a reward for anyone brave enough to get it off
2020-02-01
[Business Insider] A 13-foot (3-metre) crocodile has been swimming around Indonesia with a tyre around its neck for years - and now officials are offering a reward to anyone who can safely get it off.

According to Indonesia's state-run Antara news agency, the crocodile has had the tyre around its neck since at least 2016, though it's unknown how it got there.

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.

#9  Why? Is it time to rotate it?
It certainly doesn't seem to cause the croc any problems.

#5  Can you create a unicycle from it?

If a reptilian like Pierre Delecto can roll sideways, why can't gators?
