As a child of the ’80s, I still remember the laughter that echoed through cinemas worldwide when Crocodile Dundee graced our screens for the very first time. The story of Mick “Crocodile” Dundee, played by the legendary Paul Hogan, was more than just a fish-out-of-water tale; it was a testament to the rugged charm and unyielding spirit of Australia. And let’s not forget Burt, the iconic crocodile who stole our hearts as well as the limelight alongside Dundee himself.
Burt, the toothy star of hit comedy Crocodile Dundee, has died at the age of 90.
Back in 1986, I found myself utterly captivated by this iconic comedy known as Crocodile Dundee that graced our movie screens. It went on to rake in over $300 million globally, solidifying its position as one of the most successful comedies ever made!
The movie, a heartwarming story of a crocodile hunter from Australia who unexpectedly finds love in bustling New York, catapulted Paul Hogan to international fame and stardom.
Initially, the remote wilderness areas showcased an enormous crocodile named Burt. This reptilian character gained fame and notoriety on its own and even drew tourists to see it.
Crocodile Dundee star Burt has died
Today, I received the heartbreaking news that Burt, my beloved friend who resided at Crocosauras Cove, the reptile sanctuary, has passed away.
With deep regret, we share the news that Burt, famously known as the Saltwater crocodile from Crocodile Dundee, has sadly passed away. He died peacefully over the weekend and was thought to be over 90 years old. This signifies the end of an extraordinary period in our history.
I’ve always admired Burt – a symbol of strength, resilience, and a character as bold as the vast Top End itself. Back in the 1980s, my dear friend Burt found fame in the Reynolds River. He became one of the world’s most recognized crocodiles, gracing our screens in Crocodile Dundee, and significantly contributing to Australia’s image as a land brimming with rugged natural beauty and awe-inspiring wildlife.
Since the year 2008, Burt has made Crocosaurus Cove his home. He garnered a reputation there for being self-reliant.
In his youth, Burt worked on a crocodile farm, where he displayed a strong preference for remaining unmarried. This was evident to both his colleagues and visitors, as he mirrored the wild, independent nature of the saltwater crocodiles. His fiery personality won him admiration from everyone around him.
A tribute sign will honor Burt’s exceptional life at Crocosaurus Park, acknowledging the tales and connections he created during his tenure there.
