Burt, the five metre ( 16.4 foot ) reptile died “peacefully”, according to a statement from the Darwin aquarium, where he lived in Crocosaurus Cove.
” Burt’s life story is one of strength, resilience, and a personality as bold as the Top End ( Northern Territory ) itself”.
The” confirmed bachelor” was captured in a Northern Territory river in the 1980s, before he became “one of the most recognised crocodiles in the world”, the aquarium’s statement said.
” Burt was really one of a kind. He wasn’t really a snake, he was a force of nature and a recall of the strength and majesty of these amazing animals”.

In” Crocodile Dundee”, Burt was used in a field where British writer Sue Charlton, played by Linda Kozlowski, is attacked by a snake while refilling her water jug, only to be rescued by Paul Hogan’s Mick Dundee.
According to federal journalist ABC, the scene featured images of Burt “launching out of the ocean.”
” Clearly, he wasn’t in the whole picture, but that was where he made his debut”.
Brent has resided at the ocean there since 2008, and the aquarium thanked everyone who stopped by.
Post” Turtle Dundee” popularity, Burt stayed in the spotlight owing to his alleged psychic powers, predicting elections and the results of major sporting events – with mixed success.
Government statistics suggest more than 100 000″ salties” – many of which can increase over six feet long and weigh more than 1 000kg ( 2 200 pounds ) – kill along the coasts, rivers and lakes of the country’s far northwest.
