Security camera footage captured the moment two gang members were about to rob a man in a Los Angeles suburb of Florida. When the man saw a car stopping behind him, from which two robbers were running, he fled.
But he was quick to take off his expensive watch, which he threw over the fence. At that moment, the robbers became uneasy, began running around in confusion, and stopped chasing the men. One of them tried to jump over the high fence, but then they both gave up their plans and got back in the car.
Watch out for grumpy monkeys

Nineteen-year-old Hasanal Arifin jumped over an orangutan fence at a zoo in the Indonesian province of Riau, just so he could shoot it up close on his cell phone. But the monkey liked the boy’s attention at all and attacked him harshly. First she grabbed his shirt and then pushed him by the arms and legs to her cage.
After a while, one of the onlookers saved the reckless teenager. The boy did not suffer any injuries in the incident. The zoo’s director called his behavior “idiotic and stupid,” Reuters was quoted as saying.

Two fluffy cows scared several tourists at a luxury resort in Costa Rica. After running away from a nearby farmer, they found a liking in the hotel pool. The footage shows one of them swimming in it to the screams of frightened guests, while her companion quenched her thirst.
The escaped cattle were later captured and taken back to the farm. The unusual event took place in the Central American state as early as mid-April, but world news agencies have only now released the video.
