The reward was offered after local conservation authorities failed to remove the tyre for years.The report said a video of the crocodile gasping for air had sparked worries that the tyre was slowly strangling and killing the growing crocodile.

Local conservation authorities have been trying -- and failing -- for several years to find a way to untangle the 13-foot (4-metre) saltwater crocodile after video showed it gasping for air pic.twitter.com/jiaIU1IwjH
This prompted the Central Sulawesi Natural Resources Conservation Agency to offer the reward in hopes of finally freeing the animal.
Calling professionals to help
Its head, Hasmuni Hasmar, however, cautioned amateurs not to hunt down the crocodile but said that the reward was meant for professionals.He said they are looking for people with a background in wildlife rescue to carry out the mission.
