A 7-year-old Australian boy was caught on tape killing 13 reptiles at a popular Australian zoo.

According to reports, the boy broke into the small zoo early in the morning and was caught on tape killing the reptiles, which included a 20-year-old goanna, turtles, bearded dragons, thorny devils and blue-tongued skinks. The boy smashed several of the reptiles with rocks before throwing them into an enclosure that housed a saltwater crocodile.

Because of local laws, the boy cannot be held criminally responsible because he is under 10 years of age. Zoo officials have said they are looking into suing the boy’s parents.
