Two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, allegedly broke into Perth Zoo's crocodile enclosure after dark, cutting through locks to gain access. The pair are accused of attacking Dangalabba, a 45-year-old, 400-kilogram crocodile, by throwing bottles, banging on walls to aggravate the animal, and striking it with a metal pole. Both teens have been charged with criminal damage, trespass and animal cruelty, while the zoo has launched a full security review following the breach.
