SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.

The 30-minute rampage, caught on the zoo's security camera, happened early Wednesday after the boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.

The boy also fed several live animals to Terry by throwing them over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile.

In the footage, the boy's face remains largely blank, Neindorf said, adding: "It was like he was playing a game."

Is his name Dexter?

The kid needs more than that. Cruelty to living things at an age like that is an early sign of sociopathy and is, actually, often found in people who later become serial killers.

So the Dexter reference isn't that far off, IMO.

how sick i wonder when he goes to torturing other kids?

And it sounds like his brother was involved in torturing the crocodile in a previous incident.

Sounds like these boys' parents have some explaining to do (and some paying for the loss of animals and habitats).

The little bastard should be placed under surveillance until he dies.

Exactly!

Studies show serial killers often started out torturing animals as kids.

Also, though it's a cliche, may I ask:

WHERE WERE THE PARENTS????????????????????

Given it's in the Alice - probaby down at the pub.
