About 1100 wild deer live in Nara Park close to train stations, roads, residential areas, shopping centers, temples and shrines.<br />They have been protected as divine messengers to Kasuga God. Some biologists or botanists say the deer are overpopulated and eat all precious plants as no predators, but I think the worst predators are human being and especially cars and inappropriate food given by visitors. Some aggressive behaviors by deer also have been reported. But this is not deer's fault. All they do is for getting deer crackers. If they get the crackers when they bow, next time they bow to get the crackers. But when they are aggressive, people give the crackers. The deer get aggressive next time. For them there is no difference between aggressive behaviors and polite bowing. The deer are learning how to get food from people.<br />Thanks a lot for sharing this.<br /> <br />Love your art "Window on the World".<br />May trough all windows on the world, the wind of wisdom blows in and spread to make the earth where all beings thrive together in harmony and peace.<br /><br />I hope to see the cute goat someday!<br /><br />Sorry I missed this post.<br />Have a wonderful week!<br /><br />keikosnowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445904412813391897.post-54445492420689081842012-08-26T04:08:57.434-07:002012-08-26T04:08:57.434-07:00Those deer are beautiful Gillian.
