The crocodile featured in the 1986 comedy “Crocodile Dundee” has died.

Crocosaurus Cove, a reptile park in Darwin, Australia, where Burt had resided since 2008, announced his death.

Described as a saltwater crocodile and thought to be over 90 years old, Burt gained fame for his role alongside Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski in the iconic 1980s film, which led to two sequels.

“We are deeply saddened to share the news of Burt’s passing, the legendary saltwater crocodile and star of the beloved Australian film Crocodile Dundee,” posted the Crocosaurus Cove team on Instagram.

‘A unique’ crocodile

Staff at Crocosaurus Cove characterized Burt as a “dynamic and captivating representative” of his species.

“Burt was known for his independent spirit, having been a confirmed bachelor — a trait he demonstrated in his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” the wildlife center shared. “His spirited personality garnered respect from both caregivers and visitors, embodying the fierce nature of saltwater crocodiles.”

Burt was captured in the 1980s near the Reynolds River in Australia.

In 1986, he starred in Peter Faiman’s film about an American journalist (Kozlowski) who meets Hogan’s character, the titular Australian adventurer, and brings him to New York City. Burt’s notable scene involved attacking Kozlowski’s character by a riverbank until Hogan comes to her rescue.

The movie was a box office success, earning around $328 million, which propelled Hogan’s career and resulted in two sequels.

“Despite his challenging personality, it was these qualities that made him unforgettable and cherished by his caretakers and the many visitors he encountered over the years,” remarked Crocosaurus Cove.

The attraction indicated plans to commemorate Burt with a dedicated plaque.
