Crocodile freed from tyre stuck on its neck for six years
A crocodile with a motorcycle tyre stuck around her 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.
The 14.8ft (4.5m) female saltwater crocodile had been spotted in the river in Palu, the capital city of Central Sulawesi, with the tyre becoming increasingly tight and threatening to choke her.
