RIP Burt!

Burt, the huge crocodile who starred in the 1986 comedy movie Crocodile Dundee, has died.
The passing of the scene-stealing predator was announced in an Instagram post Sunday from Crocosaurus Cove—the reptile park in Darwin, Australia, where Burt had lived since 2008. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Burt, the iconic Saltwater crocodile and star of the Australian classic Crocodile Dundee,” the cove wrote, adding that Burt “passed away peacefully over the weekend” and was “estimated to be over 90 years old.”

Burt’s life story is one of strength, resilience, and a personality as bold as the Top End itself. Captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River, Burt became one of the most recognised crocodiles in the world, appearing in Crocodile Dundee and helping to shape Australia’s image as a land of rugged natural beauty and awe-inspiring wildlife.
In 2008, Burt made his way to Crocosaurus Cove, where he became a fierce and fascinating ambassador for crocodile education. Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor—an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm. His fiery temperament earned him the respect of his caretakers and visitors alike, as he embodied the raw and untamed spirit of the saltwater crocodile.
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.

Saw somebody reporting that it was Paul Hogan who died, not the croc.
