Burt, the Saltwater Croc Featured in ‘Crocodile Dundee,’ Dead at 90


Burt, an enormous saltwater crocodile who made a famous appearance in the hit Eighties movie 'Crocodile Dundee,' has died at the age of 90.

“Burt’s life story is one of strength, resilience, and a personality as bold as the Top End itself,” the statement continued, referring to the northern coast of Australia, where Darwin is located. Burt’s star-making turn comes at a pivotal moment in Crocodile Dundee when the titular hero (played by Paul Hogan) saves American journalist Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) from a croc attack as she fills her water canteen. Crocosaurus Cove plans to honor Burt’s legacy with a “commemorative sign” to celebrate his “extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park.”
