A CROCODILE Dundee star who starred alongside Paul Hogan had died.
Burt, the 700kg monster crocodile who graced movie screens, was thought to be over 90 years old.
The animal was an icon in the 1986 blockbuster Australian comedy film.
Burt, who weighed 110 stone, died in captivity in Darwin, Australia.
The movie star was kept in Crocosaurus Cove, a crocodile zoo and aquarium in the north of the country.
His death was announced by the zoo, where he had been kept since 2008, on Monday.
Crocosaurus Cove wrote in a Facebook post: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Burt, the iconic Saltwater crocodile and star of the Australian classic Crocodile Dundee.
"Burt passed away peacefully over the weekend, estimated to be over 90 years old, marking the end of an incredible era."
The emotional tribute said Burt had been one of the "most recognised crocodiles in the world".
It added: "Appearing in Crocodile Dundee and helping to shape Australia’s image as a land of rugged natural beauty and awe-inspiring wildlife."
Crocosaurus Cove revealed the movie star was also a legend at his latest home.
The zoo said: "Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor—an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm.
"His fiery temperament earned him the respect of his caretakers and visitors alike, as he embodied the raw and untamed spirit of the saltwater crocodile.
"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."
His home plans to honour the late croc with a commemorative sign at the zoo.
