A 7-year-old boy, after scaling the fence at an Australian zoo, served a malevolent menu of more than a dozen animals to its resident crocodile during a gruesome 30-minute rampage, authorities said Friday.
The child provided the 440-pound, 11-foot saltwater carnivore with a variety of live and dead creatures culled from the zoo's attractions - including three lizards that the boy fatally bashed with a rock.
Before the attack ended, 13 animals worth $5,500 were dead. Among the victims was a beloved 20-year-old Goanna lizard, killed and tossed to the crocodile known as "Terry."
The boy's blank expression, caught on a zoo security camera, never changed as he tossed the animals over two fences into the crocodile's zoo habitat, officials said.
