Happy Gilmore' star Adam Sandler shares a playful tribute honoring his reptilian co-star, Morris the alligator, who died Sunday of old age at a gator farm in southern Colorado.

Adam Sandler honored his Happy Gilmore co-star Morris, an alligator who appeared in the 1996 comedy, following his death. The actor shared a lengthy tribute to Morris, who retired to the Colorado Gator Farm in 2006 after appearing in numerous films.

In "Happy Gilmore," Adam Sandler's angry golfer fought the ball-eating gator. But when alligator actor Morris died at 80, Sandler paid respect.
