Monkey you see, the monkey messed with you.
The previous boxer is now recovering after an indignant monkey attacked her and pulled her ponytail in clear protest against her photo being taken. A video of Indignant George’s dirty fighting tactics is currently going viral on the web.
“I used to be shaking like a leaf,” Carrianne Moylan told SWNS in regards to the literally hair-raising incident that happened while she and her friends were visiting the Rock of Gibraltar in Gibraltar, UK.
A forty five-year-old resident of Birkenhead, UK, met the Barbary macaque, an endangered primate that only macaque species found outside of Asia — sitting on the railing of the cliff. Nevertheless, disaster struck after her friend persuaded Moylan to take an image with him, after which the seemingly shy creature decided to attack.
“We didn’t see them jumping on anyone, so I got a little bit closer,” says Moylan, who owns a window and gutter cleansing business. “I used to be a little bit scared since it looked like he was about to pounce, so I backed away.”
Her quick-thinking friend Jenny, 45, said she “had a sense something was going to occur due to Carrianne’s indecisiveness, so I switched to video as a substitute of photo.”
Within the resulting clip, the fighter’s friends will be heard urging her to “come closer” since the worst thing she will do is “stand on you.” Nevertheless, Moylan refuses and starts walking away, claiming that the monkey is “not comfortable”, after which certainly one of her friends jokes “I believed you were a boxer”.
Indeed, when the previous warrior turns and walks away, an indignant macaque runs along the railing and jumps on Moylan’s back. He then starts yanking her blonde ponytail which causes her “nice” friends to burst out laughing.
“Get off me now,” Moylan cries as Fighty Joe Young jumps off her back and flees the scene. The clip ends with the Brit attempting to fix her hair while her friends proceed to make fun of her during an interspecies hair styling session.
“I just felt something on my back and panicked,” said Moylan, recalling the “unexpected” moment. “He yelled in my ear and snatched my ponytail.”
“He definitely didn’t need to take an image of himself,” joked the girl who now owns a window and gutter cleansing business. She was rumored to be a semi-professional boxer but needed to retire after suffering an eye fixed injury two weeks before her British title fight.
Unfortunately, her training within the ring didn’t protect her from freezing throughout the aforementioned animal attack. “I used to be a boxer and a champion of the north, so I’m not easily scared, but my legs were shaking prefer it was my first fight,” Moylan relates, describing why she didn’t just spank the monkey. “People say they’d have put it out of their minds, but I just reacted quickly. My hands were still in my pockets.”
Looking back, the adventurer has learned to see humor within the banana situation. “Everybody was hysterical, but I wasn’t. I finally saw the funny side and needed to fix my hair,” she said.
In a much less humorous encounter with monkeys in the summertime, a squad of snow macaques attacked nearly 60 people in Japan, forcing town of Yamaguchi to rent a special unit to cope with them.
