Who will remove a tire from a wild crocodile - fun competitions in Indonesia (5 photos)

In Indonesia, it happens that due to water pollution, another crocodile gets its head or whole body stuck in a discarded tire.





The crocodile does not give up the tire, eats it heartily and regularly

Not to mention the poor turtles. And regularly you have to call the rescuers and remove the wheel from the crocodile. And then the government decided: why should the crocodile go to waste? Let's make a fun attraction out of this for the population.

Crocodile Competition

A crocodile with a motorcycle tire walked along the beach in the suburbs for a whole year, even survived a tsunami and did not lose weight. A team was called to save him several times, but they could not catch him. And they left on other calls, someone has to get pythons out of the drain system? This is one of the very common problems of the private residential sector in Jakarta.

Take the tire off such a "cat" with your bare hands, yeah

Rescuers were even given a sleeping pill to shoot the crocodile before catching it, but they were afraid that this would scare the crocodile, it would swim away, fall asleep there and die in the wild.

In order to stop wasting the budget on calls in vain, the government did not think of anything better than to announce a competition. The one who removes the tire from a 4-meter (!) crocodile will receive a reward.





This is what happens to turtles from simple plastic packaging, but there is no competition for turtles

Gradually, the reward was increased, fearing that the crocodile would continue to grow and eventually the tire would crush and strangle it (or deform the animal's skeleton).

There are no fools

And Crocodiles Dundee in Indonesia were also not found after six months of active advertising campaign "remove the tire". It's even a little sad, there would definitely be some daredevils or inventors in India.

But it means that Indonesians don't really need the money, since they don't want to take such a risk. What's funny is that during the entire time this action was being held, no one even thought to be outraged that this was actually provoking people without training and equipment to throw themselves bare-handed at a real wild crocodile.



Perhaps the crocodile doesn't want to lose the tire, it protects its neck!

Judging by this, public safety regulations in Indonesia are still in their infancy. And the crocodile continues to walk around the area with a tire on its neck, like the most fashionable.

By the way, the last such crocodile walked around with a tire for SIX YEARS, until they finally took it off, luring it into a trap with a live chicken.



He ruined the tire, but it was still usable!

What can I say? Wow, they have great tires in Indonesia. In a year and a half, the crocodile hasn't worn them out or torn them, and he crawls right on his belly. It's a shame you can't go up to him and ask him the brand of the tire.
