Officials at one of Japan's tourist hotspots have stepped in to solve a hairy problem. They are encouraging visitors in Nara to treat roaming deer the right way to prevent accidents.
The deer are a key attraction at Nara Park, but they're also causing problems by biting and knocking over people who get close. Almost 200 incidents have been reported over the last year.
(Visitors)
"They really like the crackers. I bought a set, and then they started biting me."
"They're very aggressive. It's a bit scary, but they're cute."
Officials have put up signs that outline the best way to approach the animals and how to feed them. They include diagrams that show visitors how to indicate they've run out of snacks.
The officials hope sightseers in Nara will go home with nothing but fond memories of the furry friends.
