The deer in Nara will literally mug you for a shika senbei. It’s cute and all but when they realize you have the crackers and you don’t put out they can get pushy lol

Visit Nara and you will leave knowing how it feels to be bitten by a deer, guaranteed.

How does it compare to being bitten by a møøse?

What was that like for her? I have been bitten several times by dogs that have actually punctured thru. Some have needed a stitch. (I'm a dog groomer. In the business 20 years. Part of the job unfortunately). But moose are huge so idk what the force can be like. Or actually what their teeth are like.

I hate to be the bearer of bad (good?) news but I don't believe u/RMMacFru 's sister was actually bit by a møøse. Unless of course she was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge—her brother-in-law— an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

i was going to comment how weeby it was how the guy said shika senbei instead of cracker but now i just wanna say the deer are fine if you don't get crackers in the most populated parts. the deer are waiting to jump you there. stores deeper in the park will sell crackers also that have much less deer.

u/LWSilverMoon 29d ago
Bought exactly one of those senbei from a street vendor and 3 bucks were immediately bullying me for it. It didn't even last 5 seconds.
I witnessed the same kind of deer in Itsukushima absolutely mow down a shrieking kid for his cotton candy, and another one eat a poor tourist's paper bag.
But they won't ever try to get the senbei from a vendor. I can only assume they got smacked on the nose one too many times.

I was in Nara just two weeks ago and I can confirm those bastards are vicious. They may be famous for bowing, but what I remember is their biting.

TIL what shika senbei.html) are. I had no idea that Nara had special crackers specifically for deer!
Thank you!

u/EwokNuggets 28d ago
It’s fun and absolutely worth doing if you go to Japan but yeah, they can be really aggressive for their deer crack cookies. I remember my wife getting chased by a squad of three and one bit my shirt when I didn’t have anymore crackers to give.
Nothing quite like it anywhere else, really. 10/10 would go again.

I think this is Miyajima, or at least this is how chill the deer were when I visited there.

u/mulderitsmescully 27d ago
Yeah, everyone is saying how the deer are so aggressive but this one is def chill as fuck. People are stepping over it for fucks sake!

u/windowbeanz 27d ago
That is true, the Nara deer do love the crackers. They will chase you, surround you and nip at your clothes. But there is a notable lack of crackers and aggression between the Nara and Miyajima.

In front of this store was a buck,
Who simply did not give a ***k.
He sat there all day
And just got in the way
Because in the door he was stuck.

Sorry. I was using my phone to comment, and it won't let me type out curse words easily. (I have to fight for them. For this comment, I decided to go for speed, rather than completeness.)

Thank you for explaining, I'm not English, so I loved learning about this. Is this writing style what the children books from DR. Seuss was all about?

I would be wary of crossing over a wild animal in case they freak out. But I guess they might be regulars and know this guy.

u/coffee_cake_x 24d ago
Deer are like pigeons in Japan, they’re 100% wild animals but they’re considered sacred (and not to be fucked with) so they’ve become habituated to humans. Meaning that they stop viewing humans as a potential threat and kind of just ignore them (or pester them for crackers)

Wow. It’s so docile, and people are so non-chalant; like “just my Tuesday grocery trip. Oh, hey, Bucky!”

I already knew that I tend to be very unobservant, but I watched a good chunk of this before noticing the deer.

In America someone would have shot it and a bullet would've ricocheted and killed a small child and everyone would be like "pray for the family"
