“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bart, the iconic saltwater crocodile and star of Crocs,” the center’s officials wrote on their Facebook page.
“Burt passed away peacefully over the weekend, marking the end of an incredible era,” they said.
“Bart was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River, and has become one of the most recognized crocodiles in the world, helping to shape Australia’s image as a land of rugged natural beauty and awe-inspiring wildlife,” it says. posting
