A woman visiting Nara Deer Park was enchanted by the polite deer, bowing sweetly as she offered them senbei crackers.

Then, the crackers ran out.

In an instant, the mood shifted. One deer nudged her, at first, a small tap. Then, an insistent shove. Another grabbed at her bag like it knew more snacks were hidden inside. Before she knew it, she was surrounded.

She told Newsflare: “Let’s just say I sprinted out of there like I owed them rent.”

At first, visiting Nara Deer Park felt like stepping into a magical forest. The deer were so cute, gently bowing as I held out a cracker. I thought, ‘Aww, they’re so polite!’

But then… things escalated.

The moment I ran out of senbei, the vibe shifted. One deer started nudging me—not cute nudges, aggressive headbutts. Another tugged at my bag like it knew there were snacks inside. I was suddenly surrounded. It went from Studio Ghibli to Jurassic Park real fast.

Let’s just say I sprinted out of there like I owed them rent.
