Burt, the famous crocodile known for his role in the movie “Crocodile Dundee”, passed away last weekend at the age of over 90. The Australian crocodile park where he lived announced his death, describing him as a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of crocodiles. Burt gained fame after appearing in the 1986 film alongside Paul Hogan, where he attacked an American reporter in a memorable scene. The movie was a big success and led to two sequels. Burt was captured in the 1980s and became an ambassador for crocodile education at Crocosaurus Cove in 2008, where he impressed visitors with his size and presence. The park plans to install a commemorative sign in his honor to celebrate his life and interactions with visitors. Burt’s story is described as one of strength, resilience, and a bold personality that made him beloved by those who worked with him and visited him. Crocosaurus Cove emphasizes the importance of preserving wildlife for future generations and mourns the loss of Burt, highlighting the vital role animals play in our shared history.
