We’d commented recently on the togu lizard gone wild incident in Kuhonji. This time, it’s deer. Young males (or “bucks,” as they’re known) often stray to create their own territory. One, apparently of a literary bent, made his way presumably from the Mashiki mountains through the rice paddies to Ezuko and continued his way up to the City Library. Spotted by a local denizen zoologically astute as to discern between fish and large mammals, he called the local authorities. The deer, though, had vanished by the time they arrived, perhaps realizing he had no library card. A free check-out box for wildlife literature should be created. - William https://kumanichi.com/news/id181848
