"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.

"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," the wildlife centre said.

The zoo plans to install a commemorative sign to celebrate his life.
