• The sika deer also known as the spotted deer or the Japanese deer, is a species of deer native to much of East Asia, and introduced to various other parts of the world
• The colour of the coat ranges from grayish or chestnut brown to reddish olive, with the chin, belly, and throat being off-white.  Some subspecies have a spattering of white spots on the upper sides, arranged in seven or eight lateral rows.  These spots become less prominent in the winter as the coat grows shaggier, forming a dark mane on the neck, especially in males. On the rump, an erectile patch of light-coloured is used as a warning signal.  The antlers, grown only in males, are narrow and erect with 2-10 tines on each bar, measuring 28-81 cm / 0.9-2.7 feet in length
• The sika deer is not a particularly gregarious species, and adult males tend to be solitary for most of the year , only gathering together once their antlers have been shed . Male and female sika deer occupy different areas for most of the year, and only come together during the mating season 
• Sika deer flourish in Nara because they are protected, highly managed, and generously fed by throngs of camera-wielding tourists. They’re considered sacred because of their significance in the ancient Shinto religion
