Crocodile from hit film Crocodile Dundee dies peacefully

# The iconic crocodile Burt, which starred in the hit film Crocodile Dundee, has died. Crocosaurus Cove, where Burt had been kept since 2008, said he passed away peacefully. He was estimated to be over 90-years old, well over the usual life expectancy. Burt was captured for the first time in the 1980s, and appeared in the film alongside Paul Hogan just before Christmas in 1986. The zoo says his death is a reminder of the vital role wildlife plays and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
