The monkey allegedly flew into a rage when the woman refused to hand over the bag of monkey food which her tour guide recommended she buy.
A spokesman for the park said the woman’s mistake was showing fear.
“If you show fear a monkey will bully you,”
This is strange, a monkey
would not normally do
this. Yet we must always
remember monkeys are
much stronger than people
and that they are wild
animals, not pets.

This is not the usual wild monkey so it does not display the "usual" wild behaviour expected of it. The animal is accustomed to being fed by humans which is why bags of monkey food is sold at the site. Sounds dangerous to me. Any animal may attack when the object of its desire is being withheld.

Good observation.
Once at the beach I saw a big pelican attack a small girl who would not share food with him.

The poor woman fractured her hip and broke three ribs!

I had a friend who had his chewing gum snatched right out of his hand before he could put it in his mouth. They are fast. Very fast. I don't like the little buggers at all...
