Animal Viral Video: A hair-raising moment at a Mexico zoo ended with a little girl in the clutch of two spider monkeys, all brought about by her own behavior when she hit their enclosure incessantly. The harrowing video has gone viral with almost 900,000 views and garnered quite a number of reactions since then.’
Girl Hits Spider Monkey Enclosure
In the video, the little girl can be seen hitting the enclosure of the spider monkeys aggressively. Almost as if on cue, one of the monkeys reaches out to her, grabbing her hair and pulling her vigorously. The girl does the best she can to try and fight off the attack, but it avails her nothing at first. Passersby try to do something to stop it, all to no avail. She eventually manages to break free, only for the burly monkeys to get a hold of her hair once again as she tries to leave. Surprisingly, she walks away from the scene with no serious injuries. This video has been posted on Instagram by mascotasalrescate_arg.
Social Media Reactions
The video attracted much attention on social media, and viewers have reacted in rather varying degrees. Some commentators have described this situation as “instant karma,” suggesting that the aggressive response from the monkeys’ side was a befitting consequence for the girl’s actions. Others say it is a lesson about respecting animals and giving them their space.
The video visualizes a very serious aspect of human-animal interactions, putting forward the lesson of how much care and consideration should be given to wildlife by visitors. While the girl’s actions were certainly provocative, it also pointed out the kind of measures taken to protect the animals inside the zoo, along with the visitors, from such encounters.
