A seven-year-old boy has been filmed going on the rampage at a popular zoo in Australia, killing rare reptiles and feeding live ones to a crocodile.

Footage from the security cameras at Alice Springs Reptile Centre caught the child smiling as he killed a total of 13 animals.

During his 30-minute spree, he was seen hurling the animals over the security fence into the crocodile enclosure.

Zoo officials described the boy's actions as "unbelievable".

They are considering suing the parents as the boy is too young to be prosecuted.

'Difficult to replace'

The attack happened on Wednesday morning after the boy entered the zoo by jumping over the security fence and evading sensor alarms.

Over the next half hour, he bludgeoned some of the animals to death with stones and hurled others over the two fences surrounding the crocodile enclosure.

At one point, he tried scaling the outer enclosure himself to get to "Terry", the 11ft (3.3m) saltwater crocodile.

A turtle, four Western blue-tongued lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devil lizards and the zoo's 20-year-old goanna were among those killed.

Zoo director Rex Neindorf said many of the animals were rare or mature and would be difficult to replace.

"The fact a seven-year-old can wreak so much havoc in such a short time, it's unbelievable," he told Reuters news agency.

Mr Neindorf said the boy had "clammed up" when questioned by police.

As children under the age of 10 cannot be held accountable for their actions in the Northern Territory, the zoo would be seeking to take action against the parents.

"We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said.

CRIKEY!!!

This kid is my hero! Where is his defense fund?

Kid with his Id on overdrive

The next thing this kid needs to hurl over the fence into the crocodile cage is that annoying Bindi Irwin.

I wish the kid would of fell in the fucking Crocs mouth. Kill that kid now before he becomes a serial killer. Little motherfucker deserves to be thrown to wolves. Insane bastard, and at 7 years old. I say try him like an adult and let him get ass raped till he has a prolapsed rectum. I would love the chance to beat the fuck out of him myself.
Where the fuck were his parents? I blame them actually.

^^ If you blame the parents, why would the kid have to go to prison or be beaten to death by you? That is 100% non-sensical.

agreed. you want a kid to get ASSRAPED?

I say groom the kid for a career in the Special Forces. Why waste the potential?

Possible future serial killer in the making. Many of them start off young by killing animals. The parents are mostly to blame for this because he is so young and is only a product of his surroundings and environment. And where were the parents when this was done? Take the kid away and put in a real home and constant counseling to hopefully change his life so he can have some sort of a productive future.

Bullshit. You're turning this around.
Some (not all) serial killers killed animals, when they were young. Definitely not all kids, who killed animals when they were young, turn out to be serial killers.

I like the logic of preventing serial killers by killing entire families. This is like preventing skydiving accidents by shooting down the plane.

^^ Because of election season:

To avoid election fraud, kill the electorate.
