The Bowing Deer of Nara Family Trip
0One of our most memorable trips, seeing the bowing Sika deer in Nara Japan! We kind of did this on a whim while visiting Kyoto for a short stay during our larger trip of Japan. Lots more Japan trip videos to come!
For more information on the deer read the following from wikipedia:
"In Nara Prefecture, Japan, the deer are also known as "bowing deer", as they bow their heads before being fed special shika senbei (鹿せんべい, called "deer cookies"). However, deer bow heads to signal that they are about to headbutt. Therefore, when a human "bows" to a deer, the deer may take it as a challenge, and will assume the same stance before charging and attempting to headbutt the person. Deer headbutt both for play and to assert dominance, as do goats. Sika deer are found throughout the city of Nara and its many parks and temples like Tōdai-ji, as they are considered to be the messengers of the Shinto gods."
