According to reports, the boy broke into the Alice Springs Reptile Center Wednesday, apparently undetected by sensors because of his small size. The boy, whose name is not being released, was seen on security video killing three different lizards by bashing them with rocks. He then fed the dead animals to an 11-foot 440-pound saltwater crocodile named Terry.

The boy was also seen throwing several live animals into Terry's enclosure.

One of the lizards killed, a 20-year-old goanna was a favorite of the zoo staff. The staff told reporters they initially thought that several animals had gotten free, until they checked the security camera's.

Zoo director Rex Neindorf told reporters the boy killed about $5,500 worth of animals, including a turtle, thorny lizards, and bearded dragons.

The child will face no disciplinary action, as local law states no child under 10 can be held criminally liable. Neindorf told the press that the zoo is exploring other avenues to hold the child's family accountable, such as a possible lawsuit against the mischievous boy's parents.
