Captured in the 1980s, Burt became a household name after his cameo in the iconic film, ‘Crocodile Dundee’. Fans remember the dramatic moment when Sue Charlton was almost mauled by a crocodile, it was so intense and cinematic. But there’s a catch – what we see on the screen isn’t Burt.

The creature that rushed at Sue was mistaken for an American alligator from movie lore. This raises interesting questions: was it bad luck or simply a creative oversight? Either way, what Burt left us is a legacy – one marked by a fiery temper and undeniable charm.

For 90 years, Burt has demonstrated the power and mystique of the saltwater crocodile. “He is more than just a crocodile, he is a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him as well as the thousands who visited him throughout the years,” the aquarium said.

Burt resides at the Australian Aquarium and there he is known as “the most famous crocodile in the world” at 5 meters (16 feet) long. Since appearing in the movie, everyone around the world has wanted to see what this ferocious animal would look like in real life. Who wouldn’t want to witness such an amazing creature?

People often visit animals like Burt to connect. It’s a reminder of what’s out there in the wild—a world that still operates on instincts, not technology. Each interaction with Burt sparked awe and respect. There was something relatable about his lone wolf attitude; despite his surroundings, he was always his own emperor.

Even the people who worked with him shared stories of love and impatience—Burt was notoriously independent. But he also had this unpredictable charisma. Those who dove into his realm at Crocosaurus Cove certainly learned to play it safe. Who could forget the thrill of the “Cage of Death,” the only crocodile dive in Australia?

Despite his fierce reputation, Burt still connects deeply with visitors. Many people leave with an appreciation for wildlife. This emotional connection is what makes the loss of such an animal resonate.

After Burt’s passing, the aquarium committed to honoring his life. Plans include a commemorative sign. They aim to capture his spirit and essence, forever commemorating his majesty.
