This City Is Invaded By Hordes Of Deer, The Reason Will Leave You Stunned

By Dreamer

Nara is a city in Japan with a sizable deer population. Over 368,000 people live in Nara, and they share their home with the deer, which are considered a national treasure.
 
Over 1200 sika deer or spotted deer live in or around Nara Park – and they have lived there for generations. According to Japanese myth, the god Takemikazuchi rode a white deer through the area. Since then, people have considered the deer to be sacred, much as people in India consider cows to be sacred. From the at least the 12th century, the deer were believed to bring good luck. The nobleman Fujiwara Kanezane (1149-1207) described the deer and the beliefs surrounding them in his diary. Belief in the deer’s holiness persisted until the end of World War II. During the intervening centuries, the deer were strictly protected: Killing one incurred a death penalty.
Even today, people enjoy visiting the deer, which are remarkably tame and docile. As humans have been bringing them treats for centuries, the deer of Nara have no fear of humans. They roam the streets of Nara, lay by the roads and allow people to pet them. If somebody bows to a deer, it will bow back. Local vendors sell crackers called “shika sembei” or deer biscuits to tourists, so that they may feed the deer.
