Local conservation authorities have been trying – and failing – for years to find a way to untangle the croc.

Indonesian authorities are offering a reward to anyone who can rescue a saltwater crocodile with a motorbike tyre stuck around its neck -- and survive.

The contest will see one brave croc hunter land an unspecified amount of cash, but it will mean coming face to face with the 13-foot reptile Palu, the capital of Central Sulawesi. Local conservation authorities have been trying -- and failing -- for several years to find a way to untangle the croc after video showed it gasping for air.After a recent sighting, the province's governor instructed his resource-strapped conservation agency to figure out how to end years of fruitless attempts.

"We're asking the general public not to get close to the crocodile or disturb its habitat," said Hasmuni Hasmar, head of the Central Sulawesi Natural Resources Conservation Agency.
