One of the most popular things to do in Nara Park is to feed the deer. You buy a little bundle of deer crackers for 150 yen and the deer coming tearing over. They are fairly domesticated and tolerate the pulling and poking of children. But they are pretty aggressive about getting food. When we had the crackers in our hands, they were gnawing at my sweatshirt and ate the entry ticket right out of Devin's pocket! None of Flash's commands seemed to work with them. Maybe I should have learned "go to place!" in Japanese.
Not to worry, 'ster, hantavirus comes from deer MICE the rodents, not their namesake ungulates!!!
