RSSBe A Dear: Don’t Feed the Deer
This is why you don’t give bread to the deer in Japan. It’s very cute though.

Wow… those are wild deers? In a city or something? Weird! Well I guess it’s better than wild dogs they have in some countries.

Is this Nara Japan (near Kyoto)? If so I have been there and the deer are indeed cute. They sell wafers you can feed these animals all year round.

Dude, this chick kind of annoys me. Why not just turn around and start scaring the deer? Walking away doesn’t seem to be helping, does it…?

I’m relieved. I was expecting one of these deer to get spooked and run out into traffic and get smooshed. Seemed the young lady was ready to cross the road with her entorage behind. No deer were harmed in the filming of this video!!

I find it interesting the deer stopped following her once she crossed that last road, as if this was the boundary to their park.
Lindsay
They are probably in Nara. I’ve been there too. The deer really do this, but they are in a park, and they probably somehow know not to cross the road. They’re pretty cute though.

Haha, that’s happened to me when I was in Nara. It’s cute, and they’ll bump their heads against you when they want more.

I don’t think this is Nara as the Todai-ji deer don’t have horns. I had a similar experience in Nara where I bought deer cookies and then was swarmed and bitten. They’re monsters!

Happened to me and my kids with little goats in a zoo petting zone : we brought pop corn and were litterally bullied (“goat-ed”?) by those nonetheless cute animals.
@pumblechook : did you see the antler’s size? I don;t know if scaring them is a good idea…
Cordydan
They are not horns, they’re antlers. They get shed. Maybe they were off when you visited FishyHotWheels.
I was there in July and distinctly remember them hooking their antlers in the crook of my elbow to get me to give up the wafers. They watch and see who buys them from the carts and mob them.
Yes. They are indeed aggressive deer.

“They watch and see who buys them from the carts and mob them”
Hahaha! Deer conspiracy! =P

just drop all the food on the ground and walk away. if you are lucky you can get away before they finish it.

Reminds me of when I walked into the middle of a herd of caribou in the middle of the night, in the mountains of Western Canada.

My sister had a brush with those deer when she visited Japan last year…only they wanted the ice cream she had gotten.
Taylor
Ooooh those things can be jerks. I got mobbed by them and one decided it didn’t want to wait for me to present him with a cookie…he just took it. I ended up getting my finger gnawed. It hurt for hours. I barely survived.
Mo
I had this happen in Nara, too, and they did have antlers at that time. Not only did they mob me, but one of them popped my right in the eye with his antler (I’m really short). Then he grabbed my sisters purse and grabbed a plastic luck charm out of it and chewed it all to pieces. They were still cute, though. We also saw people running and crying.

We have wild deer in Austin, TX as well….It’s not odd to see deer prancing in rushhour traffic or darting through heavily-traveled neighborhoods in downtown or surrounding. Austin is very green and environmental-friendly, even for a large city, and deer roam around like humans because they are fed and taken care of here.

Gee wiz, if she REALLY wanted to get away she could have crossed the street, Duh.
