It simply amazes me how social they are seemingly everywhere but here. If you so much as look in their direction, the ones around here will sprint off at full speed. It's a nature trail sadwiched between neighborhoods, there's no hunting here. Just people looking to chill with the animals...
If this is Nara, Japan, the deer there are accustomed to people. They are also considered sacred, but still wild animals, and the park publishes guidelines for interacting with them
This is amazing, but it is very concerning that deer would ever see humans as friendly. They are hunted animals, and should be taught to avoid human contact as much as possible.
They are protected and revered in that park in Nara. They can be overly familiar (agressive) with people because locals sell "crackers" to feed them. Some of us got nipped and kicked.
Very nice but sadly the wrong thing to. People kill these beauties purely for that rack, and teaching them that it’s ok to walk up to others is safe and it’s likely not🤔😟
Last time I attempted to merely take a photo of a fawn (from a considerable distance away), I snapped a twig and it “screamed” (I didn’t know they could do that) and ran off
I was trying to remember the name of the place in Japan, thanks. I couldn't tell what language they were speaking in the video, but the people could have been Asian
The Formosan sika deer (Cervus nippon taiouanus) is a subspecies of sika deer endemic to the island of Taiwan. Formosan sika, like most of the terrestrial fauna and flora of Taiwan, arrived on the island during Pleistocene glacial periods when lower sea levels connected Taiwan to the Asian mainland.
I don't think those are the same deer as Nara, I'm guessing this is in China. I have been to several places in Japan with deer, I used to live there. The people look Chinese and the license plates don't look Japanese.
Nara dear are semi-tame after centuries of human contact
. Wild deer are very skittish, and would never allow this kind of interaction.
I took care of a small herd of deer at a petting zoo. With the exception of 1, they never allowed close contact, though I was there feeding them every day.
The one deer was an albino doe. She'd be waiting to greet me every morning. She loved to root around in the pockets of my jean jacket, so I'd put a few treats in there for her to find.
This is it. The first real test. The first time we send a shockwave through the system that has controlled us for too long.
On Friday, February 28th, we go dark. For 24 hours, we stop feeding the machine. No spending. No unnecessary purchases. No engagement with major corporations

My borrowed line from a wildlife biologist: Wildlife management is an oxymoron.
The Deer "problem" is entirely human made. Their antlers shed naturally and are used by Stags each season so that then
strongest genetic material gets passed on. 1/

No it's just not in Japan and not the same kind of deer that you find in Nara. This is in Taiwan. But AI is getting so good that it won't be very long until this kind of argument is all you will see on the internet. Imagine what it's going to be like with idiots like MAGA.

It’s there because they’re feeding it. This is not cute, it’s cruel. These animals become dependent on the food and end up sick and malnourished. These are wild animals, not pets.

Not dissimilar to the Wolf "problem" in the US only in reverse, humans damage ecosystems, not Animals.
At the other end of this seemingly harmless spectrum is Taiji. Animals in the wild should stay wild.
Are you saying the video is a fake?
Love getting ticks!
Nice try AI
