Deer also need water

Every day, there continues to be intense heat.
If you do not properly hydrate, you can collapse from heatstroke, and in some cases, you may even lose your lives.
This does not only happen to humans.
Deer also become thirsty like humans and need water.
However, there aren't many places in Nara Park where the deer can get enough water.
That's why there are souvenir shops that provide water for the deer, like in these photos.
However, we ask that tourists absolutely do not give deer any drinks other than water (such as juice or coffee).
If the deer has diarrhea, its health will deteriorate further.
We hope you will treat the deer, which are a national natural monument, with compassion.
