The saltwater crocodile Cassius was 5.48 meters long, weighed almost a ton and lived to be 110 years old.

The world’s largest captive crocodile has died in Australia. This was announced by the Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat on Facebook on Saturday, November 2.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved friend Cassius. He was more than just an alligator, he was a dear member of our family and brought joy and companionship to his best friend George in for more than 37 years,” the statement said.

The saltwater crocodile Cassius lived in the park since 1987 and continued to grow until 2010, growing an additional 18 cm. As a result, it was 5.48 meters long, weighed almost a ton and lived for about 110 years. old Cassius is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest crocodile living in captivity.

Cassius was captured in Australia’s Northern Territory, where he attacked farmers’ cattle, attacked motorboats and at one point lost part of his left front leg, a fragment of his snout and tip of his tail – approximately 15 cm.

Zoologists believe that Cassius lived longer than crocodiles that normally live in the wild. In October, his condition worsened on October 5, he was taken to a clinic with special care, but they could not save him.

We remind you that the first white alligator in the world was born in Florida. This crocodile may look like an albino to the average tourist, but it is actually a rarer form of reptile known as a leucistic alligator.

More than 70 crocodiles escaped from a farm in China
