Kyoto, Japan | Went to a city for a group of deer

🇯🇵 When you come to Nara Park in Japan, you definitely shouldn't miss the chance to get close to the adorable deer! 🌸 But remember to feed the animals in an orderly manner‼️ - 👉 Step 1️⃣: Check if there are any deer around, and if there are, please do not feed them cookies in front of them, otherwise, they will treat you as prey and desperately snatch the food from you. - 👉 Step 2️⃣: Prepare some deer cookies, which can be bought at the stores in the park (200 yen per bag). Get several bags, as these little guys can eat a lot! And some are quite aggressive 😱 - 👉 Step 3️⃣: Place the cookies in the palm of your hand, hold the cookies with one hand, and show them to the deer with the other, so they will gather around. - 👉 Step 4️⃣: Hand the cookies to the deer, but be careful not to touch the deer's mouth or nose directly with your fingers, as it will make them uncomfortable. - 👉 Step 5️⃣: Pay attention to the frequency and amount of feeding, do not let the deer eat too much, otherwise, it may cause stomach problems. - 👉 Step 6️⃣: If you do not want to continue feeding, please do not forget to thoroughly clean the crumbs off your body to avoid attracting other deer. - 👉 Step 7️⃣: Finally, when saying goodbye to the deer, use an 【open-handed gesture】 to show them that you have finished your deer cookies, so they will not continue to bother you! . When you come to Nara, you will see many cute deer 🦌 Many people say that the deer are very polite and will keep bowing to you, but! The 'bowing behavior' of the deer in Nara Park is actually not a friendly gesture, but a pre-attack action. The more frequent the bows, it doesn't mean the deer is more polite, but it indicates that it is more anxious. Everyone says that the deer in Nara are really realistic. When you don't have deer senbei in your hand, they seem tame and cute, and they don't want to bother with you at all, but I found that this is actually the best moment to take photos with the deer. Just quietly approach them, and no matter how you pose with the deer, they treat you as if you're air. On the other hand, every photo with senbei in hand looks scared
