Regarding the Temple Deer | Wild Japan

- In Nara, one of Japan’s oldest cities, Sika deer roam freely around the temples. They were once believed to be messengers of the gods. Today they are still held in great regard, and lavished with ‘deer biscuits’, which they respond to by bowing.

Nice seeing humans and animals living in peace and harmony for a change!
+Grimlock1973 you must live in the cave. I live around animals all the time and they don't harm me, and I don't harm them. My dogs and i have a trust relationship and they understand their role in my family. outside the door, we have dear as well. Even if you are in an urban environment you have birds that still exist. You must be way out of touch with nature or you would have recognized these things.
+MavHunter20XX that's in you're circle, in reality there's so much cruelty you have no idea. So stop shoving you're happiness down others throat.
And we can achieve that by rejecting car culture, which ruined not only wildlife, but also human society as well.
Amazing to see a deer bowing like this.
I went there and I was head butted by a dear because it wanted a dear biscuit that I was holding and I was chased
Lol
I Wanna go to Nara. I've been to Japan 3 years ago and I've been there for two weeks
Your should have headbutted it back and claim your territory haha
It is so surprising that the deer aren't scared at all!
Deer: You saw me bow politely. Now hand over my biscuit.
A full biscuit. None of this half biscuit nonsense.
Yes... that's right. I thought so.
Thank you!
I read this with a Stewie (Family Guy) voice hahaha
Harmony with nature and mutual respect.I cannot stress that enough ! 😁
in Japan, deer hunt people ^-^
With their Cuteness
That's why you should never give a shotgun to a dear.
probably the cutest thing ever - NOTHING can beat this
What about a Albino naked mole rat
how would you tell if it's albino?
OhnoesJG red eyes
Sika deer are old world deer that constitute the genus Ocellelaphus, they are found only in Eastern Asia, there are four recognized species of sika deer: the Southeast Asian Sika Deer (Ocellelaphus pseudaxis), the Chinese Sika Deer (Ocellelaphus mandarinus), the Formosan Sika Deer (Ocellelaphus taiouanus), and the Japanese Sika Deer (Ocellelaphus nippon), they are most closely related to the hog deer (genus Hyelaphus).
Even tha japanese deer so polite😮😮😮😮
this is trippy. straight out of a ghibli movie.
I think the coolest part is that the deer have learned a bow To get a treat!
My God, Japan is sooooo beautiful
how SWEET
Who doesn't want to leave a place were they give you free food for life?
The reason i want to go to japan to see one and bow him
They know that the humans are there, but see no threat and largely choose to ignore them.
I've heard of Holy Cows of India,but Holy Deers of Japan !!??? Now i've seen and heard everything !!! 😁😉
All the reasons why I want to visit the Land of the Rising Sun so badly.
Buddhist temple. Hong Kong has Cow temple.
I'm shocked that not a single tiger did not try to attack one of the deer in that place
There is no wild tiger in Japan because tiger is not a native animal to archipelago of Japan. The only big cat that are native to Japan is Tsushima Leopard Cat that only a little bigger than a regular house cat. The deer use to have natural predator which is Japanese wolf but japanese wolf went extinct in their natural habitat 100 years to disease like rabies that killed the entire population of Japanese wolf.
They trained wild deer to bow?!?? *squeals*
They didn't train the deer. The deer learned to bow after seeing the humans bow to them 1200 years ago. To them bow = food.
@@baibac6065 wrong deer bowing is a sign that they want to fight, but they dont attack usually because the human has food and/or doesn't bow back
@@ReaperPLUR The Nara Temple herd is famous because they understand that if they bow to humans, humans usually will bow back and give them a biscuit. It's probably the only wild herd in the world that has figured out not all humans are out to eat them. Ultimately, because the god worshipped at the Nara Temple uses deer as a messenger animal, the biscuits are sold by the temple as an offering to the deer. So, when the deer bows, return the bow and offer a biscuit.
Imagine the droppings.
You think that's bad, check out Japan's rabbit island.

In Southern California, I always see deers running away from humans. I think all the deers are in the state of fear due to the history of huntings and killings of these animals for food.
cool story bruh
In Thailand they have the Tiger Temple :D
Do they have Tigers there?

I find this so ironic. They're probably so disgusted by the rest of the world hunting deer while we're disgusted by their sea mammal hunting. That's cool as Hell though, it's like how the world domesticated wolves into dogs. I wonder if something other than dogs will become Man's best friend in the far future.
Good old days before covid19, now they are mutated into semi human form
beastars
My fridge needs some deer meat. Japan, here I come.
This is nice and cute but they can be killed by cars
The deer 🦌 is sacred to Japan jest like the bald eagle 🦅 is our national bird
There are several videos on YT showing the deer a using zebra crossing and the local bus and other traffic calmly going around resting deer standing on the street. Even police cars simply wait for them to move out of the way in heavy traffic. Everyone is aware of their presence so accidents don't seem to happen, afaik.
China is so cool, its all about the respec
It is Japan, not China.
Yea
I wish they had some bears and wolves in that shrine too. The deers are an invasive species there, bears would even out the playing field.
Wolves are extinct in Japan.
Holly Bug They were extinct in Yellowstone as well. But they we're re-introduced by humans. This should be done in Japan as well!
DynamicSphinxxx
No, people still found small packs and single wolves in Yellowstone. They took wolves from Canada & Montana, and reintroduced them to the park in 1995. I wish they'd do that in Japan, but since they're considered completely extinct and not critically endangered, it might be too late. Plus, some of the wolves might try to get into the city part of Japan.
Holly Bug You and I are not really in disagreement. Just because wolves are no longer critically endangered in Japan doesn't mean they won't balance the ecosystem. It makes so sense when there's an abundance of prey population with absolutely no predators around.
DynamicSphinxxx
I wasn't trying to start an arguement, I hate arguing especially in RUclips comments...so don't worry :)
True, they may be beneficial to the ecosystem. The only thing though is that the ecosystem over time has adapted to no wolves that if you reintroduced them it might disturb it. At the same time, I could help reduce the population of deer & rabbit(Japan's rabbit island Needs wolves bad!!). I don't think they'd put wolves near that temple though due to their beliefs and that no one can harm them.
Deer love human in Japan
Deer afraid of human in USA
Whale love human in US.
Whale afraid of human in Japan.
I've seen many videos about Nara's Deers and ended up asking myself, where are the adult dears? They all look quite young.
Adult deers are probably sold as meat once they become old / agressive towards turists.
So much for the lovely story about god riding on a deer's back and them being protected from harms.
The whole gamut of age range is there. Sika deer aren't really that big compared to most other species of deer, and keep their spots into adulthood. Most Japanese will not dare eat the deer from the park until now since the deer in that area are still regarded as somewhat sacred (even if they're no longer officially divine) and doing so will get one slapped with jail time since they are protected.
I wish they had some bears and wolves in that shrine too. The deers are an invasive species there, bears would even out the playing field.
