Cassius wrote himself into the history books as the world's largest crocodile in captivity with 5.48 meters between nose and tail. But the estimated over 110-year-old crocodile is now dead, reports the zoo in Australia that has been the crocodile's home since the end of the 80s.
He was more than just a crocodile. He was like a member of our family and gave joy and companionship to his best friend George for over 37 years, writes Marineland Melanesia on Facebook.
George Craig and his wife Shirley Craig bought Cassius as early as 1971 and he was in the couple's possession until the move to Marineland Melanesia.
