While others said Woody shouldn't have looked at the monkey as they can be spooked by eye contact.
Someone commented 'never suppose to look at them in the eyes' and another added 'it’s cuz u flashed your canine teeth and made direct eye contact LOL'.
However others of Woody's followers said he was 'lucky' not to have been injured badly and checked he was ok.

Woody appeared to quickly recover from the surprise and shared another clip of him doing a handstand while a monkey watched on just two days later.
Monkeys can be territorial in Bali and act aggressively if they feel threatened. New Zealand company Southern Cross Travel Insurance has recommended ways to keep on their good side.
Their website recommends: 'Don’t smile at them [the monkeys]. Showing teeth is a sign of aggression in primates and can be seen as a threat.'
