Got a death wish? Head to Indonesia, where officials are looking for a person willing to free a 13-foot crocodile from the tire wrapped around its neck. The croc was first spotted, wearing the motorcycle tire like a necklace, in the Palu River of Central Sulawesi in 2016, reports CNN. The province's Natural Resources Conservation Office stepped up in 2018, after a so-called "animal whisperer" failed to remove the tire, but the croc apparently wasn't keen on the chicken used as bait by the conservation office, per Antara News. With few officials available to handle the beast and mounting fears that the growing croc will be strangled—the Telegraph cites a video showing it "gasping for air"—the conservation chief announced this week that "a reward will be given to anyone who can release the hapless reptile." Hasmuni Hasmar noted the undisclosed sum would come out of his own pocket. Those serious about the task should have experience in wildlife rescue, he added. "We're asking the general public not to get close." here

I know that thing would eat us for lunch, but that's really sad. People are animals.

Do tranq guns not exist in Indonesia? They can't be tranquilized.

I've always heard there was no way to tranquilize them. Was curious & 'googled it'. There are no repellents and no toxicants for alligators. When the wildlife expert arrives to remove the problem alligator, he or she will be equipped with either a live-trap or the acceptable harvesting method for your area. THen when I clicked on the link... ...many professionals have employed the use of tranquilizers. Injections administered while the reptile is on the snare or hook will sedate it enough for handling and relocation. Alligator sedation is not an exact science because the animal is not weighed prior to dosage. This variance results in unpredictable durations of effect for the anesthetic. HOW TO SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY ANAESTHETISE A CROCODILE most reptiles, crocodiles have a renal portal shunt in the lower half of their body where blood can bypass general circulation and be excreted from the body before it is absorbed and effects immobilisation. This poses major problems for anaesthesia. www.anzca.edu.au/documents/how-to-anaesthetise-a-crocodile.pdf

We have an alligator farm here in Hot Springs. They rope their snouts and pull it tight to keep their mouths closed so they can handle them.
