Cassius, the world’s largest living captive crocodile, has passed away after a remarkable 40 years in captivity. While experts estimated he could have been over 120 years old, scientists are now planning to perform a necropsy to determine his true age through bone analysis. This procedure, which involves counting growth rings in Cassius’s bones, may provide definitive answers about his lifespan and offer valuable insights into crocodile longevity.
