Cassius, the largest crocodile in captivity, has died at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia at an estimated age of 110. Measuring nearly 5.5m (18ft) and weighing close to one tonne, Cassius was a beloved attraction at Marineland Melanesia on Green Island, where he resided since his capture in the 1980s. Recognized by Guinness World Records in 2011, he was a part of the sanctuary's family, bringing joy to thousands. His health declined after the relocation of his companion George Craig, leading to the crocodile's passing. The sanctuary thanked visitors for their kindness during Cassius's remarkable life.
