Still Waters Posted November 2 #1 Share Posted November 2 The world's largest crocodile in captivity has died at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia. Cassius was nearly 5.5m (18ft) long, weighed nearly one tonne and was thought to be at least 110 years old - although no one knew for sure. The huge saltwater crocodile lived in the sanctuary on an island off the coast of Queensland since being caught in Australia's Northern Territory in the 1980s. In 2011, he was awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest crocodile in captivity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyvzyyd6l7o Related: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted November 7 Author #2 Share Posted November 7 Scientists hope to determine exact age of old Cassius, the world's biggest crocodile in captivity A necropsy has been carried out on record-breaking crocodile Cassius. It is hoped more can be learned about the old age of the ancient croc. It is expected an examination of the femur will take months, but discerning the age is an inexact science. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-05/scientists-investigate-cassius-old-crocodile-death-age/104562200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
