Morris, a famed alligator who was best known for his role in the movie "Happy Gilmore," passed away in Colorado this week.

In a social media post, Colorado Gator Farm owner Jay Young announced the passing of the beloved "movie star" Morris. He said he believes it was due to natural causes associated with old age.

Young said he never really knew how old Morris was because he arrived on the farm later in life but he may have been anywhere between 80 and 100 years old.

Morris retired to the Colorado Gator Farm in 2006 and Young said he had only grown two inches in his 19 years at the farm.

He had a tenured career in Hollywood, starring in various movies and making appearances on television shows.

Morris' former co-star, Adam Sandler, posted his condolences on Instagram.

"I will miss the sound of your tail sliding through the tall grass, your cold, bumpy skin, but, most of all, I will miss your infectious laugh," Sandler wrote.

So, what is next for Morris? The Colorado Gator Farm said it plans to get him made into a taxidermy so future generations can see him for years to come.
