The fate of the crocodile, which was in danger of suffocation, had long aroused the sympathy of the locals.
Six A motorcycle tire that had been around for years on a wild crocodile was removed during a rescue operation on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Monday, according to Reuters.
Behind the crocodile rescue operation was a self-taught local animal shelter who tried to catch an animal that had suffered from a tightening ring for several weeks.
The crocodile was eventually trapped as live chickens and ducks as bait. The ring was removed from its neck with a saw.

Animal fate had aroused the sympathy of the locals for a long time. It was feared it would eventually suffocate into a ring that remained small.
The nature conservation authorities have even promised the crocodile helper a reward, the amount of which, however, was not known to Reuters.
The jaws of the crocodile were tightly tied during removal of the ring.
The motorcycle tire was sawn off the neck of the crotch.
