Burt, the beloved crocodile known for starring in the Australian film, 'Crocodile Dundee', passed away last weekend. He was estimated to be over 90 years old.
The Australian crocodile park where he resided in his later years announced his death in a post on Instagram on Sunday.
"Burt was truly one of a kind. He wasn’t just a crocodile; he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures," Crocosaurus Cove said.
Burt rose to fame after appearing in Peter Fairmann's 1986 film "Crocodile Dundee" alongside Paul Hogan, who played the fearless Australian crocodile hunter, Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee.
The croc's most memorable movie moment was when he attacked an American reporter, played by Linda Kozlowski, near a riverbank.
The comedy was a major hit at the box office, leading to two sequels.

I remember the scene, I wasn’t looking at the croc.
See you later, alligator.
Neither was any other male.
he had a good run..
He was more cognizant than biden at the end.
She’s a right dinkum Sheila.
The Daily Mail cast the headline as a ‘major actor’ in the movie passed away, trying their best to get readers to click on the link to the story.
I enjoy skimming the whole Daily Mail without clicking anything.
LOL! First thing I thought about when I read the headline.
"Fearless Australian" has become an oxymoron in the 2020s, with the cowardly response of the Aussies to their government's draconian covid measures. The Aussies are no more "fearless" than a herd of sheep.
Yes, one of the greatest crocodile roles in Hollywood.
Such an authentic and real performance.
There is no way they let a real giant croc grab onto the strap around her neck.
And yeah, she was way more a force of nature in that scene than Burt.
But with skin as tough as Nancy Pelosi between Botox appointments.
Friends at the ceremony:
He was so young.
Beloved crocodile. Oh please. You see a crocodile. He sees dinner.
In awhile 🐊 crocodile. :o)
Looks like he still had all his teeth. 🙃
