Bert the crocodile, best known for his role in the Australian film “Crocodile Dundee,” died last weekend. His age was said to be more than 90 years.
The Australian crocodile park where he lived in his later years announced his death in a post on Instagram on Sunday.
“Bert was truly one of a kind. He wasn’t just a crocodile; he was a force of nature and a reminder of the strength and majesty of these incredible creatures,” Crocosaurus Cove said.
Burt rose to fame after I appeared. 1986 film by Peter Fairman “Crocodile Dundee” with Paul Hogan, who played the intrepid Australian crocodile hunter, Michael J. “Crocodile” Dundee.
Crook’s most memorable film moment was when he attacked an American reporter, played by Linda Kozlowski, near a riverbank.
The comedy was a big hit at the box office, resulting in two sequels.
Its saltwater star, Burt, was captured in the Reynolds River in the 1980s before he made his silver screen debut, according to Crocosaurus Cove, which describes the famous crocs as “an image of Australia as a land of rugged natural beauty.” Wildlife is credited with helping to shape it.”
“Britt’s life story is one of strength, resilience, and a personality as bold as Top End itself,” said the attraction. “Although his personality could be challenging, it was what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and by the thousands who came to meet him over the years.”
According to the park, Burt made his way to Crocosaurus Cove in 2008, and quickly became an ambassador for crocodile education. Visitors from around the world were impressed by its size and commanding presence, especially at feeding time, he said.
In honor of Burt’s legacy, Crocosaurus Cove plans to install a memorial at his attraction, “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and conversations he shared during his time at the park.” Why?”
“As we mourn its loss, we are reminded of the important role wildlife played in our shared history and the importance of preserving it for future generations,” Park said.
