A woman can be seen in the video clip standing next to a soldier on a large black horse outside London’s Buckingham Palace. Ethan reveals that the woman is his step-mom.

In order to get a good shot, Ethan’s stepmother moves up to the horse and the guards and eventually reaches out to grab the reins.

The horse shows signs of apparent agitation when she performs this, which makes the guard unhappy. Just as the photo is being taken, he shouts at the woman: “Stand back from the Queen’s lifeguard, don’t touch the reins!”

Ethan’s step-mom is startled and steps away from the horse in fright. Her stepson mentioned in the video’s caption: “We Will Never Return To London After This Incident.”

The video has generated a lot of buzzes since he posted it on TikTok, garnering over 4.7 million views and tens of thousands of comments.

Many people criticized Ethan’s stepmother for petting the guard’s horse in the comments section, pointing out that both the soldier and his animal were on duty.

“Serves her right you aren’t allowed to touch the guard,” one person wrote, while another added: “It’s not Disney they are working horses and serving army.”

“You do realise they are actual guards and not just tourist attractions,” a third chimed in.

An Army Spokesperson also gave an official response to the incident.

“We take all incidents like this seriously and want to ensure all those who visit Horse Guards have an enjoyable time,” they said per The Mirror.

They continued: “This area is particularly busy with tourists and on occasions, the soldiers undertaking Guard duty need to shout loudly to alert members of the public if they get too close to the horses, which happened in this case.

“We have signs placed alongside the horse boxes, stating that the horses bite and would always encourage the public not to get close to horses, as, after all, they are animals and can be unpredictable.”

Monkeys Grab Girl Through The Bars After She Repeatedly Hit Their Enclosure left people shocked.

A group of spider monkeys in a zoo exacted revenge on a young woman when they grabbed her by the hair because she kept banging their enclosure. The girl was captured on camera swinging towards the chain link fence enclosing the spider monkey enclosure while holding her phone in the other hand.

The girl is seen getting near enough to the enclosure fence when the video, which was released to TikTok and quickly went viral, shows a monkey reaching through to grab her by her hair.

Before other people can rescue the girl and frighten the animal away by waving towels at it, the monkey starts yelping and shrieking.

Fortunately, the girl didn’t seem too hurt after she was set free. However, things didn’t finish there because a few seconds later, the girl went straight by the monkeys in their cage again and got too near for them to re-grab her.

A girl was joking around at a Mexican zoo when a spider monkey grabbed her by the hair for nearly 13 seconds before a boy pulled her away. The footage was shared on TikTok last Saturday and had been viewed more than 8.1 million times as of Friday

This time, two monkeys join up to grab her hair, but the girl is able to rapidly free herself by pulling to freedom.

Many have questioned why she even went back for a second after being so near to the monkey enclosure in the video, which has received more than eight million views.

Many people agreed with the statement “sorry but she began it” made by one user.

Others questioned why the girl’s immediate surroundings didn’t intervene sooner because after she is first kidnapped, everyone just stands about and laughs for a short while.

Someone said ‘everyone laughing while she gets her wig snatched’, and another commented, ‘they just sitting back letting it happen do something’.

More comments expressed their belief that the girl — and indeed everyone — would learn from this experience that disturbing animals in their habitat is never a good thing.

Although they appear to be little and cuddly, spider monkeys are wild animals that, if kept in captivity, may develop the habit of attempting to attack humans.

In general, it’s a good idea to remember the phrase “look, don’t touch” when it comes to zoo animals.

Despite her claims to the contrary, spider monkey expert Dr. Victoria Milne cautioned that approaching too closely and trespassing into the animals’ enclosures could be was “very disruptive.”

Video of an Australian pub owner fighting a charging crocodile off with a frying pan goes viral

The viral video shows an Australian pub owner using a frying pan to fend off a crocodile. People watching from a distance captured the action as Kai Hansen used a frying pan to combat an enraged crocodile in front of him. Hansen, the proprietor of pub Storyful, provided the footage on his own initiative. In the footage, Kai can be seen standing in front of the crocodile.

Amazingly, he didn’t seem alarmed as an 8-foot crocodile began to circle his Goat Island lodge. Hansen used his preferred weapon, a frying pan, to engage the charging reptile rather than turning and fleeing.

The crocodile appeared to rethink the attack after receiving a few blows to the head, turned aside, and swam back to the water.

The wild incident was captured on tape and immediately gained popularity on social media. Despite the incredible video, Hansen told Daily Mail Australia that using a frying pan to fend off a large reptile was nothing out of the normal for him.

“I wouldn’t say it’s an everyday event, but I’ve got to stay safe and do what I can,” he said.

“When you’re driving along in a car and all of a sudden a dog is right in front of you, are you scared, no, you just do what you have to do,” the publican continued, adding that in this scenario it all worked out alright. “No one got hurt and the croc got a good lesson.”

Hansen continued by recounting some of his previous encounters with the saltwater crocodiles that were present in the area. His beloved dog Dumb Blonde was devoured by a crocodile that was about 10 feet long in 2018. A similar case happened in Florida where a man grabbed a 9-foot alligator in an attempt to save the beloved family dog.

Even while Hansen may consider fighting reptiles to be just another day in the life, the video left many online users in awe, and many of them expressed their shock in the comments area.

“Who’s crazier? The old man for hitting the gator with a frying pan, or the gator for messing with the old man?” one person tweeted.

Others were quick to note that the bizarre scene would only ever happen in Australia.

“Only in Australia, got to love it,” one person tweeted, while another agreed that the scene was “peak Australia.”
