Ammon News - Crocodile Dundee fans are mourning the loss of movie legend Burt the Saltwater crocodile.

On Sunday, Dec. 23., a representative for Crocosaurus Cove Darwin penned a sad Facebook post which revealed the over-five-meter-long reptile had “passed away peacefully” over the weekend. Burt had lived at the Australian attraction since 2008.

Burt was estimated to be over 90-years-old and weighed a staggering 700kg, per The Independent. Crocosaurus Cove Darwin said his death was, "the end of an incredible era."

“Captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River, Burt became one of the most recognized 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,” the Facebook post read.
