In the Japanese city of Nara wild deer bow when people give them a treat

In the Japanese city of Nara human civilization and the wild deer co-exist in perfect harmony. The local mythology refers to the deity by the name Takemikazuchi, arrived in the former capital on white deer - their defenders. Thanks to this legend, the deer are considered sacred animals there for the past 1300 years.





You can equally well be seen on the streets as a man, and this wild deer. The city even has found its own way to feed the "neighbors" - on every street there are vendors or vending crackers for deer.





Deer are so accustomed to people and socialize over a hundred years of existence side by side in the same territory, in return for a treat bow as the Japanese.
