A seven-year-old boy broke into a popular Australian zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock.
The boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre in central Australia then went on a 30-minute killing spree, using a rock to kill three lizards, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-ft, 440lbs saltwater crocodile, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

The boy, whose acts were caught on the zoo's security camera, also threw several live animals to Terry over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile.
