No one has measured Cassius since 2011, which is when the saltwater giant was awarded the Guinness World Record for the world's largest living crocodile in captivity.
The saltwater crocodile — who is thought to be 120 years old — entered the record books in 2011, when he measured nearly 18 feet long. But his keepers haven't measured him since, meaning Cassius may have grown even bigger since then.
Saltwater crocodiles can grow up to 23 feet long, with another record holder — a 50-year-old, captive animal in the Philippines named Lolong — measuring more than 20 feet . Lolong was captured in 2012 and briefly replaced Cassius as record-holder, but the crocodile died one year later after flipping over with a bloated stomach and Cassius was reinstated as the world's largest captive croc.
