You've almost certainly seen videos of 'friendly' deer bowing to tourists, but what's really going on behind the scenes? Let's head to Japan and get up close and personal with the Sika deer to find out!

Searching for wildlife in Japan has been one of the most amazing experiences of my career as a conservation biologist, allowing me to experience a completely different landscape, new species, and different land management practices than I'm used to. While the internet is full of information about Japan's culture and urban tourism, my goal with this series is to bring you up close and personal with the wild landscapes and organisms of this incredible island nation. In this episode of our Wild Japan series, we investigate the phenomenon of the friendly bowing deer.

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.

Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

-Ben Zino
