Measuring just under 18 feet and weighing close to a tonne, Cassius was captured in the Northern Territory in 1984.



Named after the legendary boxer, better known as Muhammad Ali, he has called the Marineland Melanesia crocodile park on Green Island, off the far north Queensland coast, home for the past 24 years.



Guinness World Records spokesman Chris Sheedy said Cassius was one of a few record holders to be honoured with a double-page spread in the 2012 Book of Records.



We thought this record was so amazing that it deserved its own two-page spread and that's now going out in four million copies worldwide, he told Australian Associated Press.
