Kindness and compassion are qualities that are inherent in a real person. At the same time, sympathy and a desire to help should be directed not only to people or their pets. This amazing story happened in Indonesia. The state, which unites several thousand small islands, is distinguished by its rich flora and fauna.
Rhinos, orangutans, monitor lizards, buffaloes and, of course, crocodiles live there. Locals treat these dangerous reptiles quite calmly, as they see them literally every day, live with them practically side by side. But a very unusual animal attracted the attention of Indonesians back in 2016. 
Locals noticed a very strange crocodile in the river flowing through the city of Palu on the island of Sulawesi. The Indonesians have determined that the animal belongs to the species of crested. These crocodiles are the largest representatives of the order, are considered one of the most dangerous predators in the world.
The crested crocodile has the strongest bite among animals. Adults reach 5 meters in length! But it was not the size and danger of the animal that surprised the locals. The fact is that the crocodile had a motorcycle tire on its neck. It is obvious that this object got stuck on the animal’s body at the moment when it came out of the water to the shore. 
They tried to save the crocodile from the tire for several years. He was often seen in the river, they tried to catch him in order to free him from a real stranglehold, which caused him a lot of inconvenience. The reptile, which was nicknamed “crocodile with a necklace of tires”, could not be saved for 6 years!
The animal was constantly slipping away, in addition, it was unclear how to help him so as to remain unharmed. The Indonesians really tried to free the crocodile, animal rights activists also expressed their concern. They were afraid that the animal would simply suffocate from the tire when it reached a certain size. 
Even the famous Australian crocodile trainer Matt Wright tried to help. But he also failed to succeed. So the unfortunate crocodile would have lived in a state of constant suffocation, and then died from lack of air, if not for an ordinary local resident named Tili. He could no longer watch the suffering of the animal.
The daredevil built a simple trap from improvised materials, looking at which it was difficult to believe in the success of the event. He simply tied the ropes to a log, and used chickens as bait. The locals refused to help Tili in a dangerous case, so the man was forced to save the crocodile on his own. 
The Indonesian had been tracking the animal for three weeks. But after several unsuccessful attempts, he was still able to catch a crocodile with a tire on his neck! To do this, Tili needed strong nylon cables, which are used for towing boats. The ropes used by him before were torn, unable to withstand the weight of the crocodile.
After the animal was immobilized, Tili and other employees of the fire service and the environmental Resources Agency, who agreed to help save the trapped reptile, which was no longer able to harm, pulled the dangerous predator out of the water. The crocodile turned out to be very heavy, in addition, he constantly tried to dodge the hands of people. 
After the animal was on land, rescuers could only cut the tire with a saw. And then, amid the joyful cries of the Indonesians, the crocodile was released back into the river. Finally, an animal that has lived with a splint on its neck for 6 years has been able to breathe freely! Of course, all the participants of the rescue operation took photos with a dangerous predator!
When asked why Tili needed to risk his life to save the crocodile, the man replied that he hates when animals suffer. A kind and good person cannot watch the torment of another, even if it is the most dangerous predator in the world. The fact that there are guys like Tili in this world gives us faith in humanity!
