Burt, the beloved crocodile known for starring in the Australian film "Crocodile Dundee," died over the weekend. He was estimated to be over 90 years old.
The Australian crocodile park where he lived in his later years announced his death in a post Sunday on Instagram.
"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 he appeared 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.
